I am officially in Jordan. I arrived at 2AM today along with several others I met while in Frankfurt. Since we came when it was dark, I didn't get to see the city from the sky, other than a bunch of lights. It helped to meet some people before the program started. Right now, I am in an internet cafe with a couple other girls. Since today is reserved for people arriving at different times, we decided to venture out in Amman. So far it is a nice city. Early this morning when we arrived, I heard prayer-like chants over loudspeakers throughout the city. So it was comforting, yet haunting to hear that in the dark. It started around 4AM. The weather is pretty much like SD. I do feel awkward when people stare since we're obviously Americans. And trying to communicate is another story. So far, the people here haven't gotten annoyed with us when we ask questions in English.

This was my first time traveling alone not knowing anyone, until Frankfurt. Everything went smoothly...until I lost my phone. Great, huh? I'm trying to hunt that puppy down so please pray that it returns to me. :) Also, I am very homesick so prayer on that will mean a lot.
