Our cargo truck (arranged by Reddi) was a bit small and trying to fit their 23 bags of luggage in the back of a Toyota compact truck was like trying to fit 50lbs of potatoes in a 25 lb bag. But Reddi and the driver wove some Indian magic with the ball of twine they brought and we made it home without much incident aside from some tired bodies.
I now know what it must have felt like for the early century coast lined towns when a cargo ship docked at their commissary. I kid you not, I once again felt the magic of Christmas as we unpacked the plethora of gifts and items brought from half way around the world. And what made it sweeter was the fact that it was my famil/y who had made the special delivery.
Since then it has been a whirl wind of adventure for all. We ventured to our Neighboring town of Rahima and then got really brave and visited Dhahran. Friday's have been spent with the branch to renew our connection with the almighty and develop meaningful relationships with others.
Alex just came back from her first full day of interning with SAco and she was really excited about her role. She participated in some high level meetings and offered her input at strategic times.
We are closing in on the month of Ramadan and look forward to experiencing this sacred month first hand. It means even more change on top of what we are already trying to adjust to, but I thinks it's just another amazing experience for us to see.
Well it's now time for some cake and a couple of quick calls then off to counting camels to drift off to sleep
