hey kids. just a quick update cause i'm at work and probably shouldn't be blogging but eh, ya know.
i think i told some of y'all this but maybe not everyone. i started going to a small group that's part of a church out here and have been really encouraged by just even the process of seeking it out and going once. tonight is the second night and i'm really pumped to go back and continue establishing relationships with the group. the group is really diverse, people anywhere from 22-35, some married, some not, working at anywhere from the CDC and the American Embassy to the Singapore Embassy and different schools across the city.

so yeah, impromptu blog post. maybe divinely inspired. was that blasphemous? i don't know anymore. i love you all. heartz from cairo.
