Quick update for those who care:
J and S Orbiso and Baby are in the Philippines visiting the Orbiso patriarch. Miriam has also returned home, may come back, but to Abu Dhabi, most like. Joanne has been reassigned to Dubai, which leaves us with two single sisters.
Adrian has chicken pox, poor spotted fellow. Is in isolation: dying of boredom.
Chapel is almost completely furnished now: rugs, curtains, couches, tables, office for the president, wi-fi, etc. Official chairs will be sent to us in future.
New member, just found us. He's been here since November, working as on-site nurse at the new campus construction for my university. Name's Roland, and he hadn't been to church for 3 years because he'd been in Saudi before this, so he's come twice: we pick him up and drop him off, and will try to keep him company as much as we can. Pretty lonely setup. Good man, though: lifer, rm, pretty excited to have found us.
We're hoping that enthusiasm is infectious. We've been missing a few fairly consistently, and pray that changes soon.
Jordans and Fletchers are, as always, missed.
Shout-outs: D-Law, it's good to have you around. Glad you read and comment. Bodes well for your marriage.
Smash, congratulationisms! Little Ashley is expectorating a blue one in sixish months. Our baby sister, mit two babies of her own. Ay caramba.
Lurkers: let us know you're there now and then, would ya?
Oh, and a belated one to the Shirl: we appreciate your loyalty, Ma! Thanks for gracing.
Salaam alakum, todos.
