Sunday we went to two churches and David was able to preach at both. They were both really good. It was great to see some believers here in this city. About 85-90% of the women here wear veils; 10% of those wear all black. It's so sad to see people in such a dead religion, working so hard, but still on their way to hell.
Although so many women veil, I have not felt uncomfortable or threatened. Although everyone is nice, women are viewed differently here. The husband/wife relationship is different too. Almost as if they are not suppose to be together and enjoy each others company in public. Some do, but that's the exception rather than the rule.
Joshua is still sick. He has had a fever off and on for five days. He has had some diarrhea, not eating very much solids, and really bad allergies. We got him an antibiotic, but he gets sick after taking them. The liquid is a different texture, maybe that's what is causing it. I have heard things from people here about the doctors. You have to be very careful about where to go. I am going to take him when we get home if he is still sick. He is not dehydrated. He drinks plenty of fluids and has enough wet diapers. Please pray for him. It is hard for us to see him so sick.
We have one more day here and then we will be heading home. I have enjoyed my time here. We have got a lot accomplished and have a much better view of how to prepare and what to expect. I have comfort in knowing where I will be coming, what it is like, a general idea of where I will live, the hours of language school, how I will shop, what I can buy, and probably who will keep Joshua while I am in language school. I will never be able to tell you how much comfort this gives me. The Lord Jesus has really been good to us. He has provided for our needs and given us peace in our hearts, most importantly, He has saved us from an eternity in hell and promised us a future in heaven with Him. Sadly, most of the world don't have this, and they do want it, their works prove it.
