January thus far

Well, we've had a bit more of an exciting January than we had hoped to have. For those of you who haven't heard, the Lebanese government technically "collapsed" last week. While serious, this isn't entirely uncommon in Lebanon, so we are watching and waiting, but continuing on with our lives just the same. Some key decisions affecting stability should be made this week, so your prayers are greatly appreciated.

Finally, we wanted to share our reliable address. (Really, we've actually received mail from the states!) 
Jad Jabbour #2818
American University of Beirut
Bliss Street
Beirut, Lebanon

Because posts without pictures are boring, here we are getting ready for a double date with friends. After being back in Lebanon for 2 weeks, we desperately missed American food and couldn't wait to hit up our neighborhood Applebee's! (In all seriousness though, Applebee's is actually fairly popular here - imagine, a country where greasy burgers and nachos are a novel thing.)
