While I was in Monterrey, Dan was in El Paso with our incredible Saudi Arabian friends (I'll refer to them as E and A). In our October newsletter, we told you their story: we met them at the international student fair in September, and quickly befriended them- especially after seeing that E was seven months pregnant with their first baby! Every week, E and A began coming to our church and Bible study, and we bonded our hearts deeply to them in a short amount of time. 

The night that E went into labor, A called Dan crying. He was stressed out of his mind that something would go wrong, and he needed a friend. We rushed to the hospital, and Dan was able to comfort and pray with A while I went into the delivery room with E. I was honored beyond words to be her "sister" at the hospital as their precious daughter was born. 

Over Spring Break week, Dan invited E and A to go with him to El Paso- they were feeling especially homesick over the holiday. E and A immediately hopped in the car and drove the 600 miles with Dan! It was a wonderful week of them seeing our hometown and having a sense of "family" with our parents and siblings. We hope to bring them again this summer, and are grateful in advance for anyone else who would like to show them the love and kindness of God. Please continue to pray that we would be the best friends we can be to them, and that they would gain an understanding of the saving power of Jesus.
