Mashee

Mashe (Mah-shee) is the Arabic word for anything that is stuffed. For example, stuffed vegetables or a pillow stuffed with feathers. It is a good description for how we have felt ever since we arrived in Cairo. Well-fed would be a massive understatement. In any case, the theological posts are on hold until we get back to Jerusalem. Right now we are just enjoying hanging out with family and lots of good food (with a few touristy things thrown in for good measure). A good time is being had by all.

We will get to attend church tomorrow (which hopefully will be translated into English). We will also probably visit some of the historic churches in Egypt and some of the markets as well later this week.

Will type again soon.
