I'm pretty worn out with everything. Not to mention getting on the internet was a pain. Along with me not getting able to get on AOL to check and send email really made me happy as well. I promise I was in a better mood 10 minutes ago.
I'm still having hints of fun though! This place doesn't even look like the Middle East. It is more like a rain forest than a desert. A few days ago we had a picnic with some Arab guys on a cliff overlooking the ocean. We ate with our hands and the Arabs made fun of me...I guess I wasn't doing something right. Who thought there was a technique to eating with your hands? But at the end of our meal there were about 6 camels that showed up. It was a weird juxtaposition with the camels and ocean. I'm sure you can't see that combo too many places in the world.
It has been harder to find fluent people here in Salalah. Kind of a bummer, but we are making due.
Overseas brings a lot of Spiritual Warfare that I've never experienced in the states. I'll be happy to get it all off my back soon. Even with all the warfare, it is nice to know that the S-man isn't happy with the work we are doing. Speaking of the work...it is a lot different than what I thought it was going to be. And I'm still looking to find peace with my purpose for coming.
Please pray for me and renewed strength. There is only a few more days left and I want to be able to finish strong! There is still a ton of work to be done here. It has been refreshing to see the work that was already in progress. The harvest is ready!
I'm going to go and try to find a way to email people. But in case I can't....Mom, all I want is clean clothes, a good shower, my cell phone, and food that comes out solid. Also, mom and dad....Happy Anniversary! I love you guys.

Hey Bud, It's almost time to come home! Sounds like you are ready-just for the record so am I! Dad and I will meet you at the airport. We fly in from Atlanta around noon. Can't wait to hear your stories. Sorry you are not feeling well. We should have sent more snacks with you. I'll put in some clean clothes for you in case you can't do laundry before you get here. We'll have the laptop in Atlanta so we can check messages. Everyone is fine here.
We love you lots! Mom
You forgot Happy Birthday Alison! That's ok though. :) Sorry, it's been so hard. God knows your heart and sees your desire. Hopefully He'll send something your way before you leave. And if not, know you've planted seeds and maybe some day you'll see them again in Heaven. Hang in there. You're in our thoughts and prayers. Love you alison
