Sunday
I got up and took a shower and went to Church. But the bus drivers were all mean to me. I thought they might know about me. One refused to let me get on. Then I stood at a corner and another one came by and he wouldn't let me on. He told me to go to the first bus (the one that told me there is no room for me). I did and he again said there is no room for me. I went back and stood at the corner. One bus was just parked in teh middle and wouldn't let anyone on.
Finally the second guy said "Ok come uncle" when I asked him how much the fare was he didn't answer me.
When got to church saw Abu Wardeh and his family they said they wanted me to go have tea with them. I also saw Firas and he sat next to me. Saw all old friends.
had lunch, they want me to preach on Sunday the 24 and 31 because Pastor will be gone...
i got a shareeha for jawal
when i was leaving, I saw Abu Habaas and he was nice to me so it was a a nice taxi driver to counteract the negative taxi drivers.
a lady on the taxi knew everything about Mashnis.
went with Najat and Dad to Al Bayuma whatever was concerned taht N and Y were going to play their game again and Amo Issa came over and stayed for an hour telling us stories about the past of the the family. Wonderful things:
Daoud Al Mashni whose name is on the Shahid board at teh top of village was Amo Mahmoud's brotehr who was killed by Brits.
Ahmed Al Mashni was the brotehr of Amo Ahmed who was killed in Modesto
Also Dad's older brother who was younger than Shaher was FAyez but he died
Also my grandfather Hussein spent years in San Francisco and made money to build the house for himself and his brotehrs. He was a very good man
I bet he got saved in Frisco.....
