SHARIFF
A journal entry moment for you:
Today we left from Egypt. Our travel agent, Shariff, shared with us some of his feelings about his experiences with us, “the mormons” He told us how he gave up opportunities to work on other charters because we are his favorite. He was so sincere as he told us that we are such a kind, happy people with “clear hearts” He said in the past a group gave him a “Mormon book” in Englsih and as hard as it is for him, he is trying to read it. He thanked us thoroughtly and sincerely for who were were and the examples that we set. He also shared with us that it has always been his dream to travel since he was a young boy. As an Arab, this has proved very difficult to do and so he has resulted to his line of work: tourism. He helps others do his dream. This moment really made me re-evaluate and remember #1 I carry a message with me wherever I go and whatever I do. We are constantly influencing one another and #2 What a blessing and privilege it is to be on this trip – to have the freedom to do what I love: travel.

Our first night we saw a sound and light show extravaganza which depicted the history of Egypt through lasers on the pyramids.

Sarina - I am so jealous! It looks like you are having such an awesome experience! Hopefully all is well and that you don´t get harassed by too many more Egyptian men! Have fun!
