Mohammed and his wife, Abira are from Sudan. They have five children. They have been in the United States for 6 years. Three in South Carolina. Three in Memphis.

Abira said that the people in Memphis are mean. She doesn’t like living here. They came looking for work. There are no jobs in South Carolina they say.

I had the privilege of sharing the story of Jesus’ birth with them. After the story Abira served us juice. We sat and talked about life in Sudan and life here in the U.S. while their beautiful kids stared wide-eyed. I wanted to take some photographs, but didn’t feel like it would be appropriate. Maybe I’ll be able to before the week is over.

They taught us a few Arabic phrases before we had to go.

I didn’t get much video footage today. But, here’s a short documentary of day two.
