Arrived 6-10-06

We Have Arrived in Amman, Jordan.
[June 10th, 2006] Most of us left MMUMC Friday evening at 6:00 pm (first photo), and began our 18-hour journey East. We changed planes in Paris, racing to make our connecting flight with minutes to spare. In Jordan, we have found the people friendly, even enthusiastic in their welcome and desire to help us feel at home. To our great relief, all of our luggage made the trip, and we arrived at the Madaba Inn (Madaba, Jordan) at 7:00pm (Noon Eastern Time). There, we reunited with Susan and Beverly who, tired but excited by their previous four days spent exploring the Jordanian countryside, could not wait to tell us of their adventures. At dinner (2nd picture), with the entire team reunited once more, Beverly and Susan described the beauty and wonders they had encountered, and the gracious people that have made them feel welcome. Across from the hotel is the St. George Church (3rd picture) Tomorrow, we are off to Mt. Nebo, then into Israel. -Paul-
