Hello Everyone!
I'm actually writing this two days after the Women's Conference, but it was so crazy that the details are still pretty fresh in my mind. Pastor Ryan wrote that the first day of the conference was pretty awesome but the second night was crazier still.
The Sudanese love to dance and so of course, there was a lot of dancing. Grace shared her powerful testimony of God calling her name. Joanne preached and shared the word of God with the refugees. Norm share a word he received from God earlier in the day calling his name, "NORMAN!". And finally, Pastor Ryan preached the word of God and called up people for prayer. It was nuts because lines and lines of people came up wanting prayer for stomach pains, kidney problems, cancer, headaches and all kinds of other illnesses. We also blessed the children that all the women brought and of course, we ended the night with even more dancing!
Boy were we pooped by the end... But excited.
Yesterday we got to see the Pyramids. I wish I could be more descriptive but the only way I can describe them as are "big". They are big and the weather was HOT. Personally, after I saw one pyramid, I was ready to go home, but we ended up seeing all three of the major pyramids. They were basically all the same and surprisingly, none of them offered any good shade. Oh, I will say one more thing about our experience at the Pyramids though, NEVER buy anything from the vendors there. Don't even let them touch you. They come up to you saying, "No money. It's okay. Free!" and they try to put things into your hands or on your head and then they demand that you pay for them. I thought I was being all good about bargaining and paid 20 Egyptian pounds (approx. $4 US) for this arabic head covering thing to protect my head from the heat. But it turns out it was supposed to be only 3 pounds (Less than $1 US). I'm never buying anything from them again.
Anyhow, today we are going to minister to the Sudanese refugees again and then come back to watch the Korea vs. Iraq game. It should be a good day :)
Blessings to all!~
Matt
