Frustrations

Myself and the other girls have been experiencing some frustrations lately. Its been extremely difficult for us to meet women in the community. We met 2 women but then its like we had no interactions for days. The men are able to go to Mosque and meet pretty much every man in the community, however, for us its challenging due to the fact that we are not allowed to go to the Mosque and ALL the women stay in their homes ALL day long. Also trying to find any women our age in the community is unlikely, most women are already married by our age and have a couple kids. The closest girl we have met is 16 going on 17 and is engaged to be married. Some things have been set in motion to help us potentially meet some more women in the community. Pray that these opportunities with bring fruitful relationships. Its a possibility that we will get to meet one on one with women to discuss Islam and this hopefully could open the door to share about our beliefs as well. Also the women will be potentially teaching us Arabic. My Arabic skills thus far are horrible, I'm pretty sure the women we met that lives upstairs is still laughing at my butchering of the words. But anyway thats all for now.
