Obviously, it has been hard to write this month. Job hunting has pretty much consumed our thoughts and time. Still nothing to report in that arena, except that there is not a whole lot out there. Sigh.
Even so, this month we managed to have fun. Park Day resumed about 3 weeks ago. We have pushed that a bit as it is still very, very humid and still hitting the hundreds but we were all anxious to get back out there. This week my friend, Huda, from Egypt joined us. She brings her 3 precious kids and we all sit and talk. Many of the old faces are gone, and missed, but new faces have come. Such is the life in this very transient city. On Sunday nights Mike and I eat out while Robert is at Boy Scouts. Last week we went to the beach and ate at an Italian restaurant. That is always fun, especially when our friends Jeff and Mary join us. Tomorrow the Homeschool group is headed to Emirates Palace for another classical concert. I think the orchestra is from Holland this time. I told Mike to come, too. He has yet to experience the theater there. And we get to attend for free. Cool, huh? It's also been fun this month as I started teaching English to a lady I met at an Emirati wedding a couple of weeks ago(her English is great but she wants to improve her writing.) We talk and laugh and I enjoy our time so much.
Overall, yes, it has been a hard month. We really want a job and we really want to stay here. But we know that His plan is perfect. We will pursue any open doors and trust that those that are closed are for the best. I CAN tell you though, that we feel the prayers of all of our dear friends and family..on this side of world and on the other side, as well.
Will let you know what is next for the Hildebrands in Sandyland, once we know. :)
Keep those prayers going. Thanks!!
