Hi Everyone!! Update here. I miss my home. I miss my people. I miss freedom. I miss Costco and Target. OK, now you all need to appreciate these, really!
I feel incredibly blessed not only to be from the USA but to be a member of the church. So many people need what the gospel can bring into their lives. I know that we can easily take for granted what we have just because we have it. I have much gratitude for my life.

This is a "high tea" that I was invited to. It was at the Four Seasons Hotel and it was quite elaborate. There is no absence of delicious food. They love their carbs here and especially their sugar. There are tons of diabetics here, no surprise.

This is a common scene here. Construction is everywhere and I mean everywhere.

This is from the Islamic Museum, way different museums here than there.

More from the museum, look at the dates and the description.

Beautiful chest behind glass made from mother of pearl, you can't really tell but it was really beautiful.

This is the museum from a distance and if you look at the top it signifies a woman's hijab, only the eyes showing.

Honey, lots of honey.

I passed my written driving test!!! This was only 1 of several pages of signs I had to learn. Bizarre motor vehicle experience.

 These 2 men, yes, the one on the left is a man, are leaving church to walk home in 100* heat. Men here hold hands as friends. I haven't figured it out yet but it happens everywhere.

Here they are again. I don't know why he didn't grow. He does not look like a dwarf but he just didn't grow.

 From church today, talking about gifts of the spirit. We have a teacher that is a professor at one of the colleges here, Texas A&M.  There are several colleges here from the states.

Thanks to all who remembered Emily this last week. That's all I have to say about that.

That's all for now. Love you all!!!
