Yes, we arrived in Cairo Monday evening around 7:20 local time (that's noon:20 Eastern). After filling out some forms and going through customs, we met up with our host who promptly led us to the awaiting taxi. The cab ride to the host's house was 40 minutes of pure adventure. Imagine a city of 18 million people where lanes on the street are merely suggestions, crossing pedestrians are considered targets, and no traffic lights of any kind exist. Now, that's a real faith builder...Whew!!
Soon after arriving at our destination, we were greeted to a wonderful dinner of lentil soup, an assortment of middle eastern dishes, and bread. Yummy!! After eating, we were all pretty beat with so little sleep the previous 30 hours, so we retired to bed. In spite of our tiredness, we were all still very excited about what God was going to do during our stay here.
Tomorrow will be somewhat of a recovery day, but we hope to see some of the city. Please continue to pray for us. We just want to be faithful to God's leading.

Hey guys!
ReplyDeleteGlad you landed, but hope your not earth-bound long! Was reading a letter from my friend Isaiah yesterday. You all came to mind. He said some amazing things. He reminded me of FIVE different statements made in the past when he temporarily lived at 4110.
5 statements, and all five were worth recording for all time! Im meditating on those five statements, and know you will know truth when you see it.
Not missing you at all, because I am so excited to hear of your journey, and know that your love for each other will increase greatly.
Much love and hugs
Lori

Woohoo! The first phone call from our friend was a little (did I say "little"?) exciting and the next one was very reassuring. I asked my dad what was going on and he said, "nuttin honey". ha, ha!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love you and can't wait to see pictures and hear all about your great adventure!
We love y'all so much and are walking with you through this time. He who promised is faithful!
