Went to the Embassy this morning.  Turned in Dorothy's application to become a domestique in the home of someone with the Embassy.  Learned they pay between 80.000 F and 100.000 F.  Considered applying myself!  If we had found a job for her in the mission community she would have received 40.000 F or maybe only 30.000 F per month.  So she's on the list now and we wait and see what God will do.  Also learned a good neighborhood for her to try and find housing.  It's five to ten minutes away from where the diplomatic community lives, so it's a good location.

Also got our invitation to the annual Independence Day celebration. It's being held at the Hilton for security reasons.  With the tension between the president and our ambassador we have to be careful.  This means the invitation list has been cut in half.  The amazing thing is that our names are still on the list.  We're looking forward to a good time.  My friend Felix promises me to introduce us to the Ambassador whom she works for.

Had a long talk with Felix.  It was her lunch break.  She's normally very busy.  Talked about how much her marriage has improved since her time at Shiloh.  And the changes in her husband as well.  Her changing has impacted him for good.  She looked terrific and clearly is is a much better place.  Her husband is trying to find a job. So we are praying for him.

Told me that her sister is looking for a place to live in our area.  I put her in touch with a family near us who has an apartment for rent.  Don't know if it will meet her needs or not, but the location is good and so is the security.
