We started off at Evangelical Theological Seminary where both Teri and I work. Brice gave us a mini-tour since we were short on time with all we had planned for the day.

Then we went to the Synod of the Nile where everyone got to meet Venise. She is a really sweet lady who is getting her doctorate from San Francisco Theological Seminary.

I showed my family my office and the work I am doing.

I showed them the incredible Arabic handwriting that fills the pages of the old documents.

We visited Martha Roy in the adjoining hospital. I got a picture of my two favorite organ playing Marthas. My mom is also an organist.
