Madaba and Amman

We made the couple hour trip down to Petra and had a great time hiking around. And we even were able to ride a camel. On our way back to Madaba we were able to stop at the Dead Sea for a mud bath and float. After that we drove up Mount Nebo (where Moses looked into the promise land). There is something about seeing the places that you have read about. It is amazing to read the history of the area. While we were at the Dead Sea we saw what is named Lots wife. It is on the top of a cliff overlooking the sea and really looks like a women made of salt. It is the location that historians think that she would have turned to salt. Really cool to see.

We are figuring out transportation. There is nothing like trying to make your way to another city by bus and taxi. We have gone in circles only a few times, but have always been able to find our way. We are having a lot of fun encouraging the Hoods, and working with the Nazarene Church. We are working on putting together a worship concert Thursday night. It should be a lot of fun. Vance has been practicing with some of the locals to be able to worship in English and Arabic. I think he has even learned the Arabic rhythms pretty well.

After the concert we are headed back to Amman where we will do the Oasis service and continue meeting amazing people!

Thanks for the continued support!!!
