Since our last major trip to Petra nothing specifically big and exciting has happened. But we have been on some little adventures, had some neat experience, and met new people. So for this post we thought we would post a random sampling of pictures we brief explanations of what we've been up to.
Andrew playing with some Palestinian kids
Two of Andrew's teachers (Ahlam and Heeyam)
Andrew and a few other students were invited to give a presentation to a class on campus about stereotypes. Afterward class they met two sisters (Abeer and Aya) who eventually invited them (and their wives) out to their home just outside of Amman. The dad works for the government so they have a beautiful home and just the nicest family. We ate more than we could handle and we will forever be grateful for their amazing generosity and hospitality.

(Andrew spends a lot of time here)
We went to a beautiful place called Ajlun and did a hike/service project with some of the Amman branch members. In the picture Andrew is riding a donkey with Tutu. Tutu is a member kid in primary. He, his mom, and his little brother are from Taiwan.
We went a little place called Jerash North of Amman. It's basically an ancient Roman city that is super well preserved. We saw some cool ruins and had a great time just exploring.
This is an old chariot race arena in Jerash

We visited a place called Umm Qais up North. From this view you are standing in Jordan but you can see the Sea of Galilee in Israel (top left corner) and the Golan Heights/Syrian border to the right.
Here we are playing with some kids at an orphanage
(They loved Chana even though she doesn't speak any Arabic)
