i was invited to go into the city to the house of one of the american families. there are a bunch of americans working in the hospitals as missionaries, which makes my life harder, but oh well. but that's another matter. anyway, they subscribed and had a bunch of people over to watch the games today. it was so much fun. i just spent the day with a bunch of americans, got to hang out with the guys who live in mafraq (who i never get to see due to gender separation), ate a lot of chips and pizza and junk food, rode around on razor scooters, just generally forgot i was in jordan for a day. actually, that is not putting it quite correctly. i never felt i wasn't in jordan, nor do i spend much time wishing that i was somewhere else. i simply enjoyed living in jordan with others who are going through some of the same things, and found a bit of respite.
i know this wasn't a very interesting story, but it was kind of a big deal in its very simplicity.

All your posts are SO interesting Steph! It's who you are and what you are doing, and that's what we all love to hear about. Glad you got to hang with your peeps.
I am glad you had a good day! Some times it is the simple things that provide the most pleasure. I learned this later in life - I am glad you are learning it earlier. I sure miss you lots today- Love mom
