Now known as the group of all trades, our team has nearly finished walling the outside of the home we've been working on and having a great time while doing so. Not only do we specialize in cement making, mortar mixing, brick laying and block moving, but we're also getting better at wiping our plates clean at all three meals which seem to get bigger as the day pushes onward.
Last night we shared dinner with 25 Iraqis who have taken refuge in Amman, hearing their stories of escaping war, living without the ability to get a job and answering questions about the land from which we come. In each exchange, we were all reminded of the ties we share as humans regardless of backgrounds--stories which will be talked about and shared in the days and weeks to come.
We now have one day remaining at the work site before a dedication ceremony tomorrow at the house--until then, I'll make way for some pictures to be posted soon...
