Sitting on the edge of the rock of Wadi Rum waste land as Sun went down

Dear partners around the globe:

I am now here saying goodbye to you. Right before our departure to Sudan, I want to send a few words to encourage all these friends who had come a long way with me in this journey. Jordan’s 3 weeks just past me by like a dream. I had a privilege of hosting some members of the Royal family and building up friendship with a number of locals. We also had great deal of being “tourists” by visiting many of the stunning sights and biblical scenes within Jordan. However, as we are facing a great uncertainty for the coming port, adjusting our mind sets into another “mode” is also essential.

We might not have ANY internet connection in 5 weeks ‘till the arrival of Oman. Please DO consider our circumstances of the countries we are visiting now. Sudan and Djibouti were two of the poorest and most needed countries in the world. I’d appreciate your company with me.

Visiting our representative’s (Mr. Francis Chang) house in Amman was a blessing
