Taught the girls yesterday and then went to the prayer meeting at the arab church again. On the way to the office the taxi I was in came to a complete stop. It had died... so the guy goes to the trunk and fiddles around, comes back and starts his engines by tapping and twisting wires together, pushes on the pedals fora couple of minutes, and off we go! Taxis are by far sometimes the most interesting part of the day! I was so exhausted from school and riding in the metro for a total of like 3 hours and then teaching that I think that I acutally might have dozed off during one of the prayers. Oops! But worship and praying with other people there was really good. I enjoyed it a lot. I went out to eat a late dinner in Shoubra with Azza, Manal (girls i teach english too), Henna (thier sister), Moody (works at the office), Biha, and Romany (Guys from the church). Azza and Manal really have a special place in my heart and they've already made a difference in my life. I am only hoping to do the same in thiers. I feel like I am doing something good and pleasing to God when I am with them. I don't know if that makes sense... but I cant really explain it. God is soo Great and the trust that my friends have in him encourages me daily. the only bad thing is that I feel sooo tall when Im around the girls because they are like 4' 11'' and come up right above my elbow!
We went out to eat at a little egyptian restaurant and I got some chicken (I kind of thought I was getting something else but thats okay!). I started using my fork and knife and Biha looked at me and told me to please use my hands because I was in Egypt now! So I laughed and grabbed the pita bread and dug in :)
Tomorrow Im meeting with a girl that has been sitting in on my arabic class to become a teacher to do some language exchange. I teach her english, she teaches me arabic.
Pray!
Please pray for Biha's leg.. as it was injured a couple years back, doctors are too expensive, and we're praying for healing.
