Hey fellow mission buddy! Glad to hear you’ve done such great things!

Ahlan wa sahlan! My husband and I did intensive Arabic back when they barely managed to convince enough students to go so they didn’t have to cancel it. I hear things are a little different now. I’m looking foward to your posts.
