In Kabul!!



What a contrast between frankfurt and dubai, weather-wise!!! It was FREEZING cold in Frankfurt and then at 10 o’clock at night in dubai, it was ,like, 82 Degrees!!!!!
Dubai was pretty nice. It was SO NICE to sleep in a BED! I thought my bed at home was hard, but this bed I slept in was like a board. But did I care? NO! I was just so happy to SLEEP! And take a shower!!

We got into Kabul and what a contrast that was from Dubai!!! Dubai is very modern and Kabul is very…under construction. And very chaotic. The driving…well…let’s say the lines on the road are just “a suggestion,” in the words of Captain Barbosa. It was surprisingly hot in Kabul. And very dusty. Very brown. I am SO GLAD to be here, tho! I am so glad to see where Jessi and Benjie are going to be living someday. Also very happy to see The Craigs again! They put JUNGLE sheets on the bed I am going to use! YAY! Ok, I have to let everyone else talk. Till next time!!! -audree*



Hi there people. It is warmer than we expected in Kabul, so that is nice. There were tons of foreigners on the plane to Kabul-I was surprised how many. Last time we came it was much more afghans. We saw pastor Kevin and pastor henry at the airport, so that was good to hear how their trip went. My luggage did not make it though. Hopefully it will come tomorrow. We are just resting today, and tomorrow our activities will start. We might go see the afghan children’s circus that Sharon has been working with. Or we might do that today. (it is under discussion right now.) -jessica
p.s. we did go see the children's circus. we saw some girls juggling and 2 kids shooting a commercial for the agricultural festival, and we got a tour of the facility. hopefully we will see the kids perform later.



Well, we have made it to Kabul, we were able to hang out with Kevin and Henry for a little while before their flight had to leave. We then had lunch and went back to my parents house. We then went to the the Mobile Mini Circus and hung out there seeing what they did. It was pretty cool, we are going to try to see more of them some time when there are more kids there, cause we got there at the end of the day. Well I think dinner will be ready soon so I am going to add some pics of the circus and say good day to you and good night to me.

How exciting to see Pastor Kevin and Pastor Henry at the airport...
Jessica- I'm glad you changed in Dubai! Keep us updated on the status of the missing suitcase.
Benjie- How fun to see Sharon's group and to be "back home" with your family.

I can't wait to hear from Matt, Goodie, and Dave!

Praying for y'all!
