Social Butterfly

It has been awhile since I last added a new chapter to my blog. I have been quite the social butterfly this week. I got to meet two of the Intercontinental upper management guys that will be working on our project. One was from the Intercontinental in Tripoli and the other was a regional director from Dubai. They both had some interesting ideas on how to make our Benghazi hotel a deluxe hotel.

Then on Friday I had dinner with one of the fellow ex-pat bloggers that I have been chatting with for the past couple of weeks. Turns out he is an American that is going to medical school in Libya. His father is Libyan and so his medical school tuition is free for children of Libyans. He plans to finish up school here and then go back to the USA to take his medical exams and be a surgeon in the US.

I mentioned that my apartment is so large that I will probably need a maid. Well I hired one on Saturday. She is going to come in once a week and take care of the place.

Turns out she is the maid for my American neighbors across the street. One of the first things she asked me during my interview with her was “Are you a Christian....”. I said YES and she informed me that my American neighbors are also and that they have a Bible study on Sunday evenings.

After she left I got a phone call from Alex my American neighbor inviting me to Bible study on Sunday night. So I just got back from the Bible study and decided to send out this blog to let you know how things went. Had a great time....met some more Americans and my new neighbors are very nice. They have lived in Benghazi for about two years. It will be nice to have some new folks to possibly hang out with. We are scheduled to have another Bible study next Sunday night.

Who would have thought that God would find a Christian maid for me and new Christian neighbor right across the street. HE is an Awesome God.

I will let you know what HE does for me this week..........talk to you soon.
