Amazing land, amazing people

Now in Mafraq, Jordan…aka the desert.  Spent the day visiting with people at SP’s mobile dental clinic.  We met one lady and her 6 daughters, and another on the way.  She was very poor, living in a tent, and her husband gathers olives for a living.  One of her daughters had epilepsy, and another daughter had a lack of oxygen when she was born and now has brain damage and doesn’t have control over her body. The first thing I noticed about these people was there genuine beauty. The mother had a smile on her face the whole time we were there, and her eyes spoke of so much kindness. I’ve heard so much about the Bedouin people, and now can see why people fall in love with them so quickly.
