This is my first post with many to come. Today was the last day of school for all the kids and teacher for Ramadan break. Our school gets a long 10 day break. I however missed the last day of school due to being sick. Please pray for my health. I went to the doctor yesterday and was diagnosed with Salmonella poisoning. I am currently on antibiotics and am starting to recover.
If I recover and have enough strength we plan to go sight seeing. From the top of our apartment you can see Roman ruins in the landscape. This spot not only marks Roman rule but also is a Biblical landmark. When David was with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite, these ruins also mark the exact area where Uriah was sent to fight in the front lines and was killed during battle. We hope to travel here since it isn't very far. If we are able to do so, pictures of this site will be posted in the near future.
Also we will be sending out our monthly newsletter soon. In the letter it will describe more of our life in Amman, along with many prayer requests and needs of the people here. These are things that everyone will be able to help with to make a difference here. We want to thank everyone for all your support, thoughts, and prayers. They means so much to use. God Bless!
