Tomorrow morning, Chris and I will leave with a few Norweigan volunteers who arrived here to Elat, which is in the southern tip of Israel, at the Gulf of Aqaba. We are going with some members of the Bible Society who work with children to a Sudanese refugee camp.
On Friday, we will go with a bunch of students from the Living Stones Center to Jericho.
On a more funny note, Chris and I had the unfortunate experience of having a mouse in our apartment. Below is the video that Chris shot of the encounter!

Besides catching mice, Chris and I have spent a substantial amount of time teaching English to students in the surrounding villages - mostly boys between the ages of 10 and 12. They come to the schools as kind of an after-school class. We teach about 15-20 at a time, 2 hours each class, four times a week. In addition, we're volunteering at the Catholic school in town, four classes a week - integrating english into a phys ed class for 5th and 6th graders. About two times a week, we teach an english class with university students from the University of Birzeit who come to the Living Stones Center. We've been forming substantial relationships with these students - trusting God with the fruit of these labors!
