Well, I've made it through I think the most difficult week that I will have while I am overseas this semester... my homestay. I have not had internet access, so if you were wondering if I was dead or whatnot, your worries may cease and desist. I'm good. :) This week was the most emotional week I think I've experienced yet in my 20 years of life. Well, the week Anna had e-coli comes close. ;) I have been frustrated beyond belief along with happy, sad, angry, excited, nervous, sick, dirty, peaceful, anxious, and then I could say all of those words at least 50 more times each. :) Don't get me wrong though, my family was WONDERFUL. I don't think I could have picked a more wonderful family myself. The picture below shows my Egyptian Father and MaMa, 21 year old brother Ahmed (that I'm pretty sure they all wanted me to marry), my 20 year old sister Mai and my little sister Mona who is 13. Then below that you will find a day by day summary of my life this past week with a few funny stories. I love you so much. Thank you for your prayers this week! My inbox has been swamped with loving words and prayers and emails and I miss you and appreciate all of you so much. I with that I could give each and everyone of you a humungous hug! (And I mean that more than I can tell... I've never been this homesick before in my life! I WANT YOU!) :) This coming week I will also not be able to post much, but it is for a good reason... I'm freakin going on a CRUISE!! Down the Nile!! :) I'm super stoked. It should be amazingly relaxing and an incredible adventure.
Know that I love you so much. You are in my heart and my prayers! Please continue to lift me up in your prayers as well. I LOVE YOU!
In His Mighty Grip,
Your Kara Joy
