So basically Sydney, Greg, and I are purse experts now. We're taking a night class at a fashion school in town cuz we need us some more #skills and what not, and learning how to work with leather will definitely come in handy in the future, lemme tell ya. We started and finished our first bag this week and have a couple more to go. We've made some great friends and learned some really specific vocabulary that we honestly probably won't be using too much in the next bit here but you never know!
Also, long days and lots of homework means sleep isn't really part of the equation anymore, but I've developed the ability to nap in strange positions (pretty sure that's written up as a spiritual gift somewhere) and lucky me, Sydney's walked in on a few of them spontaneous power naps.
Greg's been bringin his fancy camera
And now for a few great Greg moments this week. He sure keeps everyone laughing, I tell ya:
Trying to talk him into professional purse modeling
(Talking with some of our friends on the phone, trying to make plans)
Eating famous Syrian ice cream at Bakdash
Also, serious mustache goals. Just wow.
Oh, and ZACH GOT HIS MISSION CALL! Netherlands, Belgium mission, Dutch speaking, January. Lots of Syrian and Iraqis there now so he'll definitely be putting his Arabic to use! Love that kid and so proud of him! He's going to be a great lil missionary. :)
So far so good as they say, the people here have won my heart no doubt about it. LIFE IS GOOD!
Arabic word of the week: شاكوش sakoosh (rhymes with skadoosh if you know which pinky move I'm referring to) it means hammer.
