As you may have heard, there was a bombing in Kabul yesterday. First and foremost, everyone connected with Sozo is fine. Second, we were not there when it happened, and are in fact still not there. I'm sitting in a hotel room in Dubai.
When we landed in Dubai yesterday we heard from the Sozo national director about the bombing. We had always planned to do some sight-seeing in Dubai (more on that in a bit), spend the night and take the noon flight to Kabul. It has been decided that we will spend another night in Dubai and see what today brings in Afghanistan. Things change rapidly over there from good to bad to great, so the wait and see approach is usually the best. Please know that if the staff feels it is too dangerous for us to be there we will head back to the US, but I hope that we will be able to continue on to Kabul and encourage the women there in the midst of tragedy.
A little bit of fun info: Last night I got to go up in the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa! It was so cool to be able to see Dubai at night from that high, it was beautiful!! I hope to post pictures soon.
Please continue to pray for us and Afghanistan.
All my love.
