The Beautiful City of Doha...Part 1

Doha, Beautiful Doha!

Greetings from Doha, Qatar! Wow! Wow! Wow! How did I get here? I'm not completely sure but I'm ever grateful for this time. So far this has been the best vacation I've ever had! After 16 hours of pain and tiny airplane sits Amy and I arrived at our destination. It's been so refreshing. We are staying with an amazing family from Houston,TX. The mother is an angel. She is in charge of Women's Ministry at the church. She has a huge heart and she is full or wisdom! I've enjoyed spending time with her.

Today Amy and I rented jet ski's from some shady men. After ripping the t-shirt off Amy's ski that was causing hers to smoke....we were off unto the Persian Gulf! We were granted an hour to enjoy the gulf! Wow! It was amazing. I sang praises to God louder than I'd ever sang done before. This city to stunning. Qatar's have so much money they just decide to build large buildings. Which make for a beautiful skyline. Amy and I would have moments were we would just stop and enjoy the views, the culture, our Creator! Thankfully we survived the salt and cool breeze. We approached the bay to find a few man that had their eyes set on Amy. Blonde hair, blue eyes...what's not to love! One was bold enough to ask her for her number. She declined. So there we were....for the first time not modestly dressed (Let me remind you we were in the classic t-shirt and shorts over the swimsuit number--so in the US we'd be a joke but in the middle east we are showing it ALL.)  Really at the very moment I was reminded of the huge gender roles that are set in stone for these people. Men are men and women are women.

All and all Amy and I are having a ball. Pray for safety. We love and miss yall.
