10 day update

I've been here 10 days now at the BYU JC. So much has happened so I'll just start with today. I just got back from dinner in the Oasis we are all starting to get used to the food here. It's very similar everyday (at breakfast especially). The guys that dish up our food now know what we are going to get so some of us walk up and they just start dishing, eggs for you, no fish for you, its funny. Before dinner we got a group together and played soccer in the gym. We ended up playing for 2 and 1/2 hours and no one got hurt! (The Heye's always cring when people say we're playing soccer because they tend to "break each other"). The reason we had so much time to play is because we are not allowed out of the center on Friday's because it is the Muslim sabbath. This morning we had Old Testament and Near Eastern Studies class. In Old Testament we studied Jacob and Esau and then on to Joseph of Egypt. In Near Eastern Studies we studied the early part of Egyptian history. Brother Seeley is getting us ready to go to Egypt! In only just a week!! He said going to Egypt can be compared to getting married, you only do it once so don't mess it up. I didn't know this but we will be flying and then riding a train up (down) along the Nile. He said we will never forget the train ride.
