We reach a few minutes late.
And all the sisters were in front and all the brothers in the back and some mixing in the middle.
ARGH. We find 2 seats on the side near the open door (and breeze). Mom leaves her daughters to sit next to friends on the other side. She knows too many people.

Anyway we’ve filled out our personal details form. Some people still seem to be doing theirs.

Chennette doesn’t want to document us at our first meeting. Grr! I’ll have to use my camera phone. (Did I? I don’t recall)

Roll call – we had to submit our names beforehand.

Now we’re being read to from a book…
It’s hot. The fans are not on.
I guess it will be hotter in Saudi do I must learn.

We get dates…seems like a whole month of travel…

So tired. Meeting still going on…

11:30 Chennette made the signal to me…I buzzed mom on her phone and texted her…We left meeting early. Alhamdulillah (All praises are due to Allah).
