The food court at the mall in Irbid was completely empty at noon today. Everyone is fasting and you better not be caught eating in public! They will open up after dark when the fast ends for the day.
Later this afternoon the couple serving in Kirdistan were pulled out and flew to Amman. Church security told them to leave immediately because Isis is on the outskirts of the town they are in. Apparently there is increased activity because of Ramadan. This is the second time the humanitarian couple has been pulled out of Kirdistan in the last three months.
Mark Tyari and his family live in a different area of Kirdistan. If necessary they will flee to the mountains.
We are hearing lots of gunshots outside tonight, but they are probably just celebratory. The Embassy told us to stay away from the windows. This is only day 1. Exciting!!! WE ARE OKAY!!
