Rebas' Adventure in Ozzieland

Had a fun week. A few weeks ago I met a woman at the bus stop near my house. She is in her 60s and is Persian, aka Iran, (apparently there is less stigma to the name Persian so that is how must Iranians introduce themselves). I don’t know how to spell her name but is is pronounced “ferry” or “Fairy”. She was very nice and seemed in need of a friend, she invited me to her house for coffee. Then she invited me for dinner. On Monday I went to her house and had dinner. She fed me so much! She served me salad and rice (she heaped 4 scoops on my plate) and a meat dish that reminded me of salbury steak: hamburger patties in a tomato and veg sauce. It was good, but she kept giving me more pieced of meat, then she had dessert and coffee and fruit! She is nice, but hard to understand sometimes. I hope I can be a good witness to her ______________ On Tuesday I found out that did not get my scholarship for next year (I have several ideas about how to get money for next year and will keep you posted). The funny part was that because my mailing address is my pastors house I didn’t get the letter telling me I had not gotten the scholarship until I mentioned the scholarship as a prayer request and Lorraine jumped up and said she had been meaning to give me a letter for the last two days!____________On Tuesday at bible study we found that no one had made dinner (we take turns) and so we quickly went out and got the stuff to make Chip Butties or Buddies depended on where you grew up. A chip buddy is a sandwich made with two pieces of buttered bread stuffed with French fries. You can add tomato sauce (ketchup) or BBQ sauce if you want. They are actually quite satisfying, not very healthy, but very satisfying.______________On Saturday we had a charity event called “girls night in” it is when you get together for a girls night out, and stay home and have a small party and take all the money you would have spend and give it to breast cancer research. Cool huh? We decided to invite the guys too so we had pizza and watched movies. It was fun. I made Key Lime Pie, big hit. Not much else to report, I will try to get more pics soon.
