This morning, we had the opportunity to enjoy another featured speaker. Our guests this morning were Nathan Still (Mr. Still's son) and his friend Miriam. Nathan is working at a school in Egypt, and Miriam is an Egyptian citizen. The students enjoyed listening to Nathan and Miriam tell about life in Egypt. They gave us glimpses into Egyptian culture by showing us Egyptian currency, fabric, an alabaster vase, and even a musical instrument. The students had many great questions and even learned a few Arabic words, or at least we tried. The students were intrigued to learn that sand clouds can actually make the sky dark and cloudy, and that in Egypt it only rains a couple of times in the year! We hope to have more featured speakers visit us soon!
