Country #2

Our blog posts have been pretty short and sweet for a couple reasons. One, we've been keeping very busy. And, two, by the time we get a chance to sit down and write, it's right before bed and sleep seems more desirable.

Yesterday we arrived in Qatar. Turkey was a good stepping stone to Qatar, that's for sure. Turkey feels more like Europe, and Qatar feels more like the Middle East. However, it's still not entirely what I expected. It's been great to hang out with the our friends here, and we're excited to see them in action and meet their friends.

Today we're going to drive around a good part of the country to get all the touristy stuff out of the way. Yeah, all of the touristy stuff can easily fit into one day because there's not much here in that respect. But, there is a lot here as far as friends and potential there.

It's been interesting being the outsider. It's fun to try to think of each person I see and try to imagine them with their family, them when they're joking around, them when their down about something. Trying to open up my heart, I guess.

No pictures of Qatar yet.

I like Les' comment about linking to your eyes...that'd be awesome! But brief descriptions will do for now. ;) So glad you're there. So excited about what you're seeing. Continuing to pray...
