Night of Church and Football

I attended a large arab church last week with some of my friends and the girls I teach english to (Azza, Manal, Christine, and Mirian). They had a guest worship leader that was amazing! Maher Fayiz, he has a little band and plays the aoud. So it beautiful arabic music praising the Lord. It was beautiful and a pleasure to worship God in arabic. My roomates and I went again last night and tonight there will be a prayer meeting I will attend, inshallah (God willing). Afterwards, We went out around downtown with some of our egyptian friends. We walked around (its the "in" thing to do!) and then found a little coffee shop because there was a football match being played. Biha', one of the guys with us, is an avid fan of zamalek (one of the teams) and it was hilarious to watch how into the game he was. There was also a young police officer watching the game as well and he seriously looked like he was about to cry the whole game unless zamalek scored, then he would jump out of his seat screaming and clapping his hands. I loved being there to experience it hehe. I wish everyone could be here to experience and get to know the Egyptian people... Im falling in love with them :)
