The temperature marked at 47 deg. C (116.6 deg. F) at 4:15 this afternoon as we travelled on  an almost empty road to meet a couple friend who are in a very stressful situation.  We received a “distress” call so we are out for a rescue.  Actually, this is not what we called a life and death situation but off we went to know how badly they need us.  It is Ramadan and Friday being a week-end, most are at home are having their afternoon naps.  Shops, restaurants and malls are all closed during daylight and will open after 9pm and it’s only then that most people will start going out.    The activities usually starts after sundown after they break their whole day fast.   

Our friend recounted to us their ordeal and we listened and offered our advices being their elders.  It is hard really to figure out how we can help them because they are entangled in a situation that also involved another couple friend.  In some ways, we believe that my husband and I had given them sound and well-meaning advices.  They were thankful that we came to listen as they poured their heartaches out. 

We trust that they will start to communicate more and will map up plans for any eventuality that might happen in the days to come.  

Going out of our comfort zone might be hard at first but the feeling that you did a good deed for a brother is uncomparable. 

We are mission ready!
