More Pics and Updates from Mukhaisna!






We had a productive time in Muhkaisna. We did lots of training and teaching. We also made some really good friends! We took the flight from Mukhaisna back to Muscat today and will be resting from the long hours in the desert and preparing for our teaching and presentation on Saturday.

Also, on Tuesday evening, we had the opportunity to visit a Bedoin camp near our camp. The Bedoins are a nomadic herding people that live in the desert with practically no modern accomodations. They raise camels and goats and such. They were exceptionally nice and invited us in for coffee, dates, and fresh camel's milk. It was an opportunity of a lifetime to visit these people and see their culture that we will never forget.
