Today, we started our day off at the bookshop. Aaron spent some significant time speaking with the bookshop owner’s friend who wants to practice his English. Excited to practice with a native English speaker, Aaron’s new friend promised to return tomorrow.
While Aaron and Sarah rested, Janean and Allison caught a taxi to Seef Mall, which is right across the highway from Bahrain Mall. And we just found out that another mall will be completed in September along with Shop-o-holic Anonymous!
Everyone met at the bookshop to enjoy a Mexican dinner that Janean and Allison picked up from the mall. Once again, I’d like to bring your attention to the diversity experience in Bahrain – Cali couple, Japanese American, Swiss-German-Jordanian enjoying enchiladas, burritos, and tacos…..the excitement ensues. We then continued to work on inventory, labeling the DVD’s to sell in the bookshop and at the kiosk in Bahrain Mall.
Sarah and Aaron felt better when they woke up this morning, but as the day continued on, they started to feel worse. We continue to pray for their health and for the other teams.
We also had a surprise appearance from bird lady. Bird lady’s poor eyes require her to wear hideous magnifying glasses, which some may consider glasses. Anyway, she likes to inhabit our living room and randomly scare our cooing neighbors away. Against Janean’s wishes, the team has decided not to adopt Bird lady as a team member. Maalish!

This morning, Janean’s friend who lives here dropped off a mobile phone for us to borrow. This allows us to communicate with the other teams, which is quite exciting. Half of the Oman team is sick so we continue to pray for them, and we haven’t heard back from the Yemen team.
We met at the bookshop for some team time then headed to the hospital where we met the CEO and other important people who gave us a tour and orientated us for our upcoming duties, which begin tomorrow. As outsiders, the hospital wants us to conduct surveys so patients can express their opinions without feeling threatened. This is great since we will be able to connect with local people.
At the bookshop, we have almost completed the inventory process. The DVD labels are coming along. Aaron spent about an hour with his new friend talking about all sorts of things. His friend is open to talking about politics, religion, business, life, etc. As long as he can practice speaking English. He brought falafels for us tonight and wants to bring a small meal for all of us sometime this week! Sweet.
The weather has been overcast and rainy so the malls have been relatively empty. However, we walked around the mall today covering this place with prayer.
We went to Seef Mall and split into two groups – Aaron and Allison, Janean and Sarah. We walked around on a prayer walk for a few hours and then ate dinner before going to the bookshop.
Sarah is feeling better; although, her throat is still a bit sore. Allison misses her darling daughters.
14 January 2008
Today, we started volunteering at the hospital. By we, I mean Allison, Sarah, and Janean. Aaron began his hospital excitement as a patient. He decided to see a doctor about his progressing death cough. The doc prescribed him cough medicine, which will hopefully help reduce and eventually end his death-like cough (Praise the Lord!).
Getting patient feed-back regarding services received at the hospital isn’t the most exciting job. The highlights include the rare conversation with patients healthy enough to have a decent conversation. Sarah got the contact information for a very nice lady, Janean made friends with a few of the nurses, and Allison was sadly placed in the worst section of the hospitals – where patients rarely come and nurses hide behind partitions all day. I’m not sure what goes on behind those partitions, but whatever’s happening, the patients want nothing to do with it .
Janean met up with her friend for coffee and had a great time! When she FINALLY returned to her patiently awaiting team, the girls headed to Bahrain mall for some groceries (which of course includes a “few” stops here and there….) and Aaron headed to the bookstore to get the latest on the football playoffs….I mean to work. Which he ended up doing all alone since a “few stops here and there” quickly (or should I say slowly) turned into a Girls’ Night at the Mall and Boy Night in the Shop. Funny how that works.
With the weather improving, we hope to get out a bit and see some of the sights. We hope tomorrow will hold a bit more excitement. In the meanwhile, last night we had a wonderful team de-brief, which consisted of prayer and acapella worship.
With about ten days left, we are hoping to make the most of our time. Far more familiar with public transportation, the next few days are sure to be full of memories and significant experiences.
On Thursday, the Ashura Festival honoring the martyred Hussein begins. This festival is for Shia Muslims and focuses on the suffering. The participants feel a need to suffer as Hussein suffered, which typically consists of cutting their foreheads and continually slapping or hitting their cuts in order to spill blood. Participants range from young boys to well-aged men. We have been and will continue to pray.
Ending on a good note, today we enjoyed a surprise visit from a jujitsu gypsy….I bet you thought they were extinct (Allison has a photo for proof): welcome to Bahrain. She lives in the bathroom of room 505 at the American Mission Hospital and enjoys sneak attacking unsuspecting kitchen dwellers. Once again, Janean is left disappointed as the team vetoes her attempts to inaugurate Jujitsu Gypsy into our team. Better luck tomorrow!
I look forward to updating you with more details…..I trust that our adventure will continue with excitement and anticipation as we search for opportunities to serve!
15 January 2008
Aaron’s health improves. Sarah, Allison, and Janean seem to be fully fueled, rejuvenated, and ready for the business of Bahrain (or lack thereof).
Putting our super surveying skills to use, we went to work about the hospital. Sarah had some great opportunities to speak with some women who decided to read the Bible in the waiting room. Speaking both Arabic and English, she is able to converse with many people. Janean got to eat some wonderful Indian food with the nurses in the pediatrics department while chit chatting about life, love, and…..food. One nurse shared her story – married off at 14, first child at 17, and desperately awaiting old age (to pass the time), this 30 year old nurse encouraged Janean to wait as long as possible to get married. Allison spent time roaming between different halls enjoying pleasant conversations with various people. Aaron spent the majority of his morning praying for patients coming in and out of the outpatient clinic. Since this corridor keeps busy, many people were lifted in prayer thanks to his dedication and perseverance.
Aaron and Allison had a night out, indulging in fine, American dining at the Hard Rock Café. Enjoying their freedom from Janean, Sarah, Bird Lady, and Jujitsu Gypsy (a rare commodity), they relaxed and spent necessary time together topped off with good’ol nachos, fajitas, and a brownie sundae. A date night in the Gulf, a dream come true, I’m sure. And they have the pictures to prove it……although, in typical fashion, the pictures do not include themselves, just the nachos and wall decorations. We’ll work on this
What do you get when you put a Swiss-German-Jordanian-Half Jap-from Hawaii in an English, Arabic book kiosk in a Bahraini Mall full of Saudis, Filipinos, Indians, Europeans, and everyone in between? A night full of excitement, obviously. From conversations with a Filipino about starting your own business to a Saudi about the Bible and Qu’ran, the night continued with a lot of prayers, smiles, and friendly chit-chat.

Home: Hospital mazes and hyper-markets
Welcome to Bahrain!
And so, Team Bahrain begins: Aaron, Allison, Sarah, and Janean. Here we are, sitting at Gate 6 amused by our honorary 5th member, 20 Questions entertaining us with random questions such as, “Is it bigger than a pound of butter?” or “Does it bring joy to people?” Minding our own business, ignoring the awkward stares of others, our team bonding continues interrupted by a giggly toddler who decides to attack innocent Allison. It was more of a hit-and-run, minus the run. A waddle is more like it, and accompanied with a child’s rendition of the evil laugh, this little tyke succeeded in his endeavors, and his memory will forever be recorded in the happenings of Team Bahrain.
20 Questions in pocket, luggage in tow, we finally land in Bahrain. Minus passport control’s suspicion of Janean’s identity, everyone made it through just fine. Hungry, tired, and full of eager anticipation, we load our cart –
Seven pieces of luggage, check
Five team members, check
Passports, check
Hungry stomachs, double check
Stepping out of the airport, we are quickly greeted as the “three Americans and one Swiss-German-Jordanian.” I suppose no one had difficulties identifying us, obviously. Loading our luggage into two vehicles, we begin our journey through the extensive city of Bahrain toward the American Mission Hospital, which will be home for the next two weeks.
Parking across the street, we strap on our backpacks, roll our suitcases, and trek our way across the street, open the door to the hospital, and breath in the warm air in relief – we’re finally home! Elhamdulallah, right?
Or not. Little did we know what lay ahead: too many corners, a few elevator rides, one bridge, various doors until, at last, room 505 – Home sweet home!
Following sighs of relief as we sink into the living room couches, quick introductions, we make our way to Bahrain Mall – food our goal. Nothing will stop us now. One hour later, here we sit, Allison and Aaron, the Cali couple, enjoy Japanese grill; Janean, the half-Jap from Hawaii and Sarah, the Swiss-German-Jordanian indulge in tasty Persian Grill. Diversity is an understatement.
Finally fed, we begin our journey through the hyper-market. Yes, hyper-market, not to be confused with supermarket. Just imagine the excitement, or lack thereof, as four of us tired and fed, stroll, or lag rather, through too many aisles, filled with too many options, thinking of one thing: bed! With a common goal in mind, we persevere, pay, load up, and head home. Day one, done.
As the journalist of the team, I feel the responsibility to not simply record the happenings of our days, but the shared thoughts, concerns, and overall feeling circulating throughout our team. With everything that was prayed over our team, I am convinced that our time here will not be in vain. Each of us has a role to play, and in my opinion (I’m sure the others will agree), each member was hand-picked for this team. We continually come together in prayer – for Bahrain, for our team, and for the Yemen and Oman teams. We trust that our Father will guide them with wisdom as we all go forth with a common purpose – to glorify Him.
We are very excited to hear the stories when we meet again. Until then, blessings. Tonight, Sarah is starting to feel ill and Aaron still suffers from a death-like cough.
12 January 2008
Of rocking chairs, cheddar cheese, pigeons, and fresh milk.
Waking up to our adamant neighbors determined to introduce themselves, we meet our ledge-dwelling pigeon friends. Although, at 4:30 in the morning, I question the friendliness of our neighbors. By 8:45, we are up and ready to start our two week stay with fellowship at the National Evangelical Church. Consisting of mostly expatriates from India, Philippines, North Africa, and beyond, we enjoy the diversity of the congregation and awe at the almost exclusively western service structure. Regardless of which, we shake a few hands, sip some tea and coffee in the gloomy, slightly rainy weather.
We then enjoyed a nice Filipino, all you can eat buffet with our friend and his family, followed by a much-needed two hour nap. According to our vague schedule, the majority of our time will be split between the hospital, the bookshop that our friend owns, and the mall where we can help at the book kiosk, meet various people at coffee shops, or wherever else. Tonight, Allison and Sarah went to the mall and dedicated their time to praying for those around them. Janean and Aaron began the tedious inventory process at the bookshop.
Sarah is feeling worse, Aarons death-like cough is, as Allison prescribes, still sounds like death. Thankfully, Allison and Sarah bought a few needed groceries: toilet paper, cheddar cheese (Janean’s excitement is embarrassing), subway sandwiches, and most importantly, CINNABONS!!! Our time in Bahrain is off to a tough start, trust me!
Unsure of what’s to come, yet equally excited, we spend time praying together and praying for each other – especially for Sarah who is feeling worse.

Am I a slacker or just to busy?
Ok so it's been a while since I last put anything up on my blog....so I'm going to try and condense what has happened in the last 2 1/2 months into a few brief paragraphs. Here goes...
Our camera broke and I have yet to buy a new one.. hopefully my family will get us a nice one for Xmas. The kids had a great Halloween, Kaitlyn was Dorthy from the Wizard of OZ, and Mackenzie was Tinkerbell... they were soooo cute, but you will just have to take my word for it.
As most of you know, we were trying to get on staff at the US Center for World Mission... we have been through the hiring process since Oct. 2nd and just found out that we have not been accepted...another long story but for our purposes here I won't go into it.
We have been trying to raise money to go on a short term missions trip in January...that's going ok...but not great, it might be only Aaron going unless we get another $900 in a week...we will see what the Lord provides.
I am now a MOPS table leader, and that has been going well, they all came over to my house for a pizza party..but I was feeling sick that day, go figure...the way of life...I really do love my table group.
My Wednesday night women's growth group is going slow, we are down to only four women, but we are able to have a lot of really good support and connection time so that is nice. We are going through the book of James and we find it VERY encouraging and helpful. Faith without works is meaningless.
Aaron is taking a staff position at the Refuge House of Prayer. He will be praying about 20-30 hrs a week as well as setting up the internship program and teaching on missions.
Kaitlyn is excited to be in the Christmas musical tomorrow at church...as is our entire family!! :-) I'm also excited that she is growing..she is 39 1/2 inches...just a half inch more(or some good shoes) and she will be able to ride Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, Star Tours and Sorin' over California at the Disney Theme Parks!!!!! :-)
Mackenzie... I am just amazed at how much she is growing and changing every day. She loves to were shoes, especially her sisters, and she is quickly out growing everything. She loves to run and dance and spin around, and just be involved in everything. She is my cutie pie! So adorable.
Ok well that's it for now. I will post some pictures as soon as I get a camera or my mom sends me some from hers. Love you all - peace out!

Running on Thyme
For those of you interested.... my sister Amber made Kaitlyn's birthday cake. As most of you know, she started her own catering company but is focusing on pastry orders right now. She finally has her website set up, not perfect yet, but in running order. Check it out at www.runningonthyme.com you can view a better picture of Kaitlyn's cake. Anyone who wants to order something from her, I can negotiate a deal. :-)
PS: It took her 4 hours to make that cake!

Mackenzie's 1st Birthday!!!
These first two pictures are from Disneyland at the Plaza Inn on Mainstreet. This was the Tuesday before her birthday. For thoose of you who don't know, for $10 per person, you can decorate your own cake and get to see Mickey and Minnie here. (On the plus side, kids under 3 are free!)
She was unsure of that we put in front of her, it was great to watch her discover the tastiness of suger filled frosting!
Look mom! This is sooooooooooo yummy!! And I get to make a mess too!
Everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to Mackenzie at her Nemo party. She had a lot of fun! For some reason, I didn't get any pictures of all the fun that was going on in the backyard, so if by chance someone got some pics, I would love to have them. Thanks!
Here she is with her icecream cake in her Nemo hat

MeMe - 8 Random Facts About Us
The Meme Rules:
1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog (about their eight things) and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
Random fact #1
I was in a wheelchair for my wedding. I fell down the stairs in my house the day before and severely sprained my ankle; you could hear the "pop" when I landed on it. The ER doctor told me to lay down and keep my foot elevated for 3 days... that wasn't going to happen, so I got vicodin.
Random fact #2
I've been to Hawaii 6 times, none of them with Aaron. On that same note, I've been parasailing 6 times but not all of them in Hawaii. I love it.
Random fact # 3
I can play the Piano. I can still play "The Entertainer" and "Fur Elise" without sheet music. (and yes, "Heart and Soul" and "Chopsticks" too)
Random fact #4
I have 75 units and no degree. If I enroll at Chaffey. I could apply my credits and have an AA in Business. I just never filled out the paper work, because I transferd to UCCS (Univeristy of Colorado, Colorado Springs) in January of '01, but then my Grandma died, and I was in the middle of planning a wedding, so I freaked out and moved back home and never finished. If my Grandma hadden't died, Aaron and I would probably be in Colorado.
Random fact #5
I only have 4 1st cousins, and they are all on my mom's side of the family; however I have over 100 2nd, 3rd, and 4th cousins on my dad's side.
Random fact #6
Aaron's mom and dad are technically step siblings. They met when their parents got married. Debbie was 19 and Cliff was 21, they never lived in the same house, they didn't even like eachother at first.
Random fact #7
Aaron can recite long passages of Shakespeare. Go ahead and ask him to quote "Hamlet" or "A Comedy of Errors."
Random fact #8
Aaron is partially color blind; he can't tell the difference in darker shades. i.e.: he thinks his dark blue jeans are black.
