i know this post is earlier in the week than normal... but i guess the director and the rest of the senior staff thought it good to change up the routine we had gotten ourselves in of going into town on wednesdays... i guess it makes sense... i mean there is a war happening next door. but what ya gonna do... it isnt in this country. and no one thinks it will get here. oh good news... i finished my probe today. this is a one by one meter square. the soul purpose of this was to go all the way to virgin soil... and to date the church... it was quite interesting... i hit bedrock... for those of you who dont know what that is... that is basically where there is no more dirt. the bottom level of rock on the earth's crust. kindof cool. but i dont know if we got enough information out of that probe or not. i sure hope so. it was getting really hard to get out of there today because it was getting so deep. imagine a really tired me in a deep hole starting to get frustrated. it can be a funny picture. oh... yeah so now that i am done with that probe i have no idea where i am going to end up. the place i thought i was going apparently got vetoed by the director. but i really dont know... and everyone i have asked doesnt know either. see my area shut down last week. and me and one other guy stayed to finish up some stuff. i finished and he has not. so now i dont know what is to become of me. we will see i guess.
oh and if anyone was interested about the jordanian guy front... i was told by the guy that gave me the shirt and bear.... muhammad that he does not like me... he likes another girl in the group that used to be on the same tel. that made me laugh a bit. but at that same time... another guy confessed to the american guy in our area that he does like me. and i have been invited for coffee tomorrow at his home. this should be interesting.. hopefully... nothing too bad will happen.... no i am kidding... i dont expect anything. i will keep my eye open though... and stay on my toes....
ok and now the war... no i am not going to talk about all the specifics that are going on. you guys prolly know more than i do. i just know that it has been a lot cooler out these days... the skys are gray from smoke. apparently there was some oil barracks or something blown up and that made the day much more cool. oh and if you got down low this afternoon... made it so the wind didnt blow in your ears.... you could hear the explosions.... it was quite interesting....

Hey Sarah! Well, I did the youth lesson last night. It went kinda long, and I think they got bored eventually...so we are leaving next weekend, it got here sooner than I thought. We are doing a baby dedication on Sunday, I'm sorry you aren't going be here. I'll make sure we have plenty of pics though. Have you found out where you are going next? We are still praying for you over here. Be careful, and take care.
well.... i am sorry i cant be there as well... i hope it is a great time of celebration. i am in petra right now. it is pretty cool.. we are sleeping in a greenhouse out by the hotel pool. it is a cool story i will have to tell you later. but no i was given permission to choose where ever i want to go... if you are refering to the dig. i will maybe go up on the other hill and dig in an area that dates back to the bronze age. but more on that later. and yes i am being careful. there really in no worries.
