Arrival

Flying in, it was immediately apparent just how enormous of a city Cairo is. Even from the vantage point of the plane, there were buildings as far as the eye could see. And everything was the color of sand. The roof tops were all the same color as the earth, which is a light yellow color that one would expect to find in the Sahara.

We arrived safely in Cairo after a long flight and were welcomed at the airport by Pastor Peter, who is Paul's supervisor. As we were driving we were staring at the sunset; set against a collage of countless sandy colored buildings. The sun was large and bright red and the sky was white. We took a moment to praise God for the wonder and variety of creation. We are humbled that we are allowed this experience.
