Relief

Well, we’re here!! I was nervous about having Joshua on the planes, but he did great! I don’t think he ever fussed for more than 5 minutes at a time. I thank the Lord for a great baby and a wonderful husband. Today, David planned for us to go to the area we are looking at moving to and to the “mall”. I enjoyed seeing the nicer side of town and the conveniences we will have. There is definitely more than I thought! We were picked up from the airport last night by the man that we will be working with. As my husband would say, he is a blessing. He picked us up this morning and has taken us from place to place and has answered question after question. We really appreciate him. I am looking forward to meeting his wife. She doesn’t speak English, but maybe that will be good for me while I am trying to learn Arabic.

So, I haven’t stopped hearing car horns since I got here. At least one every five seconds, usually more. Crazy. These people blow the horn for everything!

I have only heard the call to prayer once so far today. We were in the mall, and I did not see one person stop to pray. Sam said that they rarely do. So, I feel overwhelmed by the religion, but I guess that’s ok. It’s too much for us, but it’s not too hard for the Lord. He can do all things and I know that it is His will to see people come to trust in Him. Pray for us.
