Hey, an update!

So what's been going on here lately? Lots of stuff! Yesterday I had to do a kickoff skit in front of the church (I think we have about 1500 people each week now, so that's pretty cool). Yesterday we also had to teach middle school Friday School (which is the equivalent of Sunday School), and in the evening, help out at middle school Breakaway. Breakaway is what we call our weekly youth church events.

Today, the youth pastor's wife is in labour, so any time they'll have a brand spankin new baby boy. That probably means a heavier workload for Heidi and I now. Also going on today is a big country fair. I'm not sure what all it entails, but included in it are 14 game booths that we have to help run. That should be fun, I hope.

Now, on to the slightly humorous cultural observations for this week:
At nighttime, Egyptian drivers are sometimes reluctant to use their headlights, this is apparently because they think it will use up their battery.

When a parking lot gets full, things get very creative. Typically you will have a row of cars parked side-by-side, just like anywhere else in the world... but in addition to that, people will park behind those cars (perpendicular to them), blocking in two or three cars that are parked side by side. BUT, the car that blocking the other cars in, is parked in neutral. That way, if the people who are blocked in return to their cars before the other person, they can simply push the vehicle out of their way! Below is a diagram of this situation to help you understand more clearly.

And that's all I have time for today! See you later.
