From the desert

Hello all,
Some of you read the news yesterday that there was a bombing in Cairo in the tourist section of town.  We arrived in Cairo yesterday just after that attack and our chauffeur tried to navigate the busier-than-normal streets of a city with 22 million inhabitants. 
We stayed in Cairo last nite and it was a very disturbing night with sleeplessness and fears abounding.  I prayed most of the night.
Today we drove 2 1/2 hours out into the desert and arrived 15 minutes before I was to teach.  The class is so young, so hungry and it was a joy to teach them.  I had a good nap this afternoon during the sandstorm.
Tonite we'll pray for extra protection and God's presence to lead us.
Please pray with us!
