Hello,
Yesterday and today I have felt sick. I have sharp pains in my stomach among other issues. My host mom, noticing that I am pretty sick gave me some herbal remedies.
1) A drink that is named after Mary, the Mother of Jesus. It has a pale yellow color
2) A clove of garlic- I swallow pieces of garlic whole.
3) yoghurt
All three of these have helped me to feel better. I really enjoy trying the different remedies. This is an experience you would not get if you were living in a hotel or in an apartment with other Americans. This is a unique homestay experience.
Til next time,
Natalie

I'm so glad you are feeling better. Your Mom send us an email saying to check your blog because you mentioned the Blessed Mother. I think it's great that they recognize her and the part she plays in the world. I'd like to know more about this aspect of the Jordian culture.
ReplyDeleteLoved the blog about the wedding. The outfits were very nice. They make a beautiful couple.
Hey Aunt Debbie,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. Actually Jesus and Mary are recognized in Islam. Jesus is a prophet and also a Messiah, he just is not believed to be the son of God. In Islam, it is believed that Jesus will come on Judgement Day to preside over the whole kit and kabuddle. So Jesus and Mary play a role in many different religions.
Yea, the couple was so gorgeous. They will be very happy together.
