Sal Day

Went to Saleh's restaurant after I paid the power bill and the property tax which was almost $200.

Met Sal's wife who is very close to giving birth. In the next few days.

Sal was exceptionally nice. So was his wife.

At one point, she said about Sal, "someone who is a complete unbeliever," I said "He'll be back. He's my brother forever."

She later told me how she made the decision to no longer be Christian -- even though her parents were pastors of salvation army

They're into nature stuff and are even starting an arboretum.

After the whole day with them, I went to church. Pastor said he wants me to preach Sunday morning, maybe also lead worship

Surprise from Amjad. I told him I prayed with my Dad five times to receive the Lord. Amjad said, "Don't doubt. It arrived. He is saved."

That made it home with me.

I don't need to guess. It arrived.

Go Amjad

The food at the restaurant was pretty good

When I came home, Yusara told me what dad had done. He got up and walked by himself in Ihmaydi's room, she watched. He dug in the closet till he found this red and blue striped shirt and put it on. It looked perfect with the blue pajama bottoms he had on. So, I took him to see Akel. Akel kissed him and welcomed him as did another man who had his baby on the counter. Dad looked so cute as he smiled at Akel.


We walked back. Thngs are a little better with Yusara.
