two weeks without work has helped us do some reflecting on our past and get ourselves prepared for this trip. today, we sit one day from departure, getting packed and saying some last goodbyes. here are our goals for this adventure:
1. To meet our neighbors and share a meal with them
2. To learn as much as possible in four months about Arab culture from the people around us
3. To focus on learning Arabic
4. To gain a greater appreciation for everyone (we meet) and everything (we have)
5. To learn how to be deeply and truly kind and show kindness in every action and facial expression
6. To use this four months to prepare for the rest of our lives, no matter what our vocation or location may end up being
7. To change
May we not become a stumbling block to anyone and may we see the roots of love grow deep within us and may you not recognize us when we return.
