Just a quick entry to say that I arrived safely on Wednesday morning (local time). I was at the seminary in time for lunch. It was great to see familiar faces and to be so warmly welcomed.
For all of my excitement these last weeks and months in anticipation of returning to Egypt, these last few days I've actually been remarkable calm and contained. Maybe even a little nervous and anxious. But the moment I saw the northern coast of Egypt from the plane the excitement overflowed.
I'm so grateful to be here again. I'm so grateful for this place and everything it means to me. I'm so grateful for this opportunity and for all of your encouragement and prayers. God is good!
I'll write more tomorrow when I'm a little more with it. For now I'll finish my fresh mango juice at the air conditioned Cafe Greco and then head back out into the heat of the day to marvel at this other place I call home.
