Well, here we are again - we have arrived in Amman, Jordand and are staying at a beautiful hotel where we are feeling very underdressed. Oh Well!
We spent today visiting Mt Nebo where Moses was given the chance to look over the promised land (Duet. 34) and then to Jerash that is a restored Roman city dating back to 300 bc to 600 ad (approximately) Unbelievable again. We are getting more into the biblical sites so it is becoming so interesting.
Our guide, Raed, is very vocal and expressed a desire to know why we don't have prophets today and why Christ didn't appear to any other country. Well, he didn't know what he was getting into. They didn't realize the caliber of men we are with so they taught him the gospel and he just aborbed every word and kept asking about the book. He can't wait to read it.
Tonight he told us that he can feel the peace that we have and he wants someday to be like us. I'm sure we'll keep in contact with him. Neat experience. He is a Christian here in Jordan.
Tomorrow we're on to Jerusalem and we can't wait for the experiences that await us there.
