Meet with the Mayor/Reem's Brother

Met with

mayor of Deir Debwan Dr. Mansour Mansour. It was nice. He's on second floor of Beledieh. He was real nice and we took a picture. He invited me back. I gave him an idea for a wireless internet place in Deir Debwan. He seemed to like the idea. I told him to call it Mashni Corner.

I was feeling kind of high after the meeting and walked up to Amir's to get coffee. On my way back, it started raining and I couldn't walk home. I thought it would be better to ride to Ramallah instead of going home immediately.

I did and as I rode to Ramallah, I thought I'd go to Jerusalem and do a Holy Sepluchre visit. But on my way there I saw a Facebook post about Reem's brother who had died. He was young only like 43. I went and saw Bassem and Ahmed in the glasses shop and they told me of the funeral. I then went and saw Zack and he too told me about the funeral that would be after the late afternoon prayers.

I went to the Church of the Holy Sepluchre and sat there and read the Bible for about an hour

Then I went back and found Zack's shop closed so I went to Bassem's shop and went with him and Ahmed and another guy to the funeral. We went to the wrong burial place then we went to the right one which was at the Al Asbat Gate (Stephen's Gate). Reem was standing by the grave. I went and hugged her. I told her that with all the seeds she planted that he may have unbeknownst to us come to the Lord at the last moment. She said that is what matters more to her than anything. I went trough the line and shook hands with all the relatives. It was a divine set up.
