Ok, so here's a more normal blog post about some of the stuff that we've been up to - and yes, I realize we haven't said much about that in a long time.
Mostly, things have been pretty routine here - we've been teaching our classes, meeting up with students, studying a little Arabic, doing some training, going to church, the usual... We're starting to learn how to read Arabic, so that's been pretty interesting (and difficult - they drop most of their vowels when the write, lke ths).
Coffee shop has been going well. Our 2nd meeting was a goodbye event for one of the long time teachers here, so lots of people showed up to see her off.
Clarke and I also started baking a few goods (just using mixes) for the coffee shop.
Although we had a lot of people that night, we had much fewer the coffee shop after (Oct. 31st). Things were still good, we had good conversations with the students and I think that everyone is really having a good time... We just hope that more students will start coming.
Someday this week (Tuesday I think), our roommate received some good news and we decided to go out and celebrate. We dressed up and went out to a classy 5 star restaurant named Cinco De Mayo (no joke, it's a nice place) and had some good food.
Friday, of course, was Halloween. So to celebrate it, we decided to do some inverse trick or treating. Namely, we put together some candy bags for our friend's kids, then went over to each of their houses and delivered it (dressed up of course). The costumes may have been lacking some finesse but they were all heart.
And I guess that's about it for now!
