Hello from KSA

October 27th, 2009 by bobheff

Hi, Bob here.

This is just to let everybody know that I arrived safe and sound here last week and am settling in to my job fairly well. The weather is nicer here than I expected it would be and the people are very friendly which makes it easier to settle in.

For those of you who were given my mobile phone number and have sent me text messages: thank you. Unfortunately, none of these text messages seem to be getting through to me (although messages I send get out fine). I’m not really sure what the problem is. So, sorry if I didn’t reply to a message you sent.

Enjoy the meeting tonight. Saturday is the first day of the working week here and it is after 6pm so I am about to go home for some food. This is quite late to work here as people here start leaving their offices from about 3pm! (They do start earlier, things are in full swing here at 8am and many people are here by 7).

I will try to write a few things for the blog in my spare time as a way of continuing to contribute to the fellowship. I’m thinking of writing something about why I think our new practice of meeting for meals rather than having religious “meetings” is important (maybe a slightly expanded version of my talk at Searching Together).
