Greetings From Amman

A Drawing of the ACOR Building in Amman



Hello,

It is Sunday morning in Amman. Here in Jordan Sunday a work day because Friday is the Muslim day of worship. From an American point of view Thursday night is like Friday night, Friday is like Sunday, Saturday is much like Saturday at home, and Sunday is like Monday.

We will have an evening worship at camp tonight in Harta. They have asked me to preach a short sermon. We sing a few songs, Gerald Dyson brought his guitar so leads the songs, we have a prayer time and then a short sermon.

This is my last week in Jordan. I will leave a week from today, flying to London then a bus on to Oxford.

My toe is healing well. I was able to get some good bandages at the Safeway here in Amman.
I will have to be careful in the field this week. I want to go out to field each day but maybe only stay out for 2 or three hours instead of 7 hours. Anyway Tim Snow the photographer is taking some special photos of the squares so I can "see" how things are progressing. I hoping we can answer some questions about the Byzantine church in Area A.

Next Friday I will be back at ACOR for my last two nights in Jordan. Then I will make my way on to England where Connie will meet me. I am lloking forward to seeing England again.

I hope this week is less "eventful" than last week.

I will write again when I get a chance.
