We had another first in September. In fact we had a couple of other firsts besides Robert's first day of a bricks and mortar school experience....
And we had a Last as well. Grace Fellowship, our church here in Doha, held its last worship service in the villa where it all started like 9 years ago. Although the Hildebrands have only been attending for a little over a year, we still felt the emotion of change and goodbyes. Many families here helped start this church and it was difficult to say good bye to a place that held so many great memories for them. We are thankful to have had these months here getting to know the way it was and being part of the way it is going to be.

And on Friday Sept. 27, we celebrated our first service in the new building. This buildiing is located in an area called the Religious Complex outside of Doha. There are several other churches out there, including the Catholic church, the Orthodox church, and I don't even know who else. Our building is shared by many other denominations. If Friday was any indication it's going to be a busy place all week long.

Where Robert received his first jelly fish sting! Hope it's not the last time Robert gets in the water here...but I wouldn't blame him. :)
