FBC Missions

Don’t have much to report. Had a relatively quiet Sunday with a team meeting, delicious lunch of stuffed peppers, and a late night trip to the mall. The mall stays open later here due to the heat and subsequent schedule shift. I know what you’re all thinking, but the mall really is a cultural experience.

People smoke, the mannequins are fully clothed from head to toe, and there are whole shops devoted to head scarves. I am tempted to buy one because there are so many beautiful ones, embroidered or dolled up with sequins but the selection is so massive there is no way I could ever choose.

I also finally purchased a SIM card, so I am now mobile once again. It felt different not to have a cell phone latched to my side at all times, but I must say I am happy to be reachable again. Also Skype shows great promise, so for all of you stuck in the Stone Age, go out and download it. It’s free and cheap.

Tomorrow we are going to the Sudanese hadana again, this time to focus on the letter C. And it’s supposed to be 105 degrees! So wish me luck.

Safe travel to the Russia team this week.
