10/06 Muslim Contact

Turkish Festival & Muslim Contact

Some of my language school classmates and I went to a Turkish Festival hosted by the local Muslim community.  Albertville is approximately 15% Muslim.  While visiting with some of the women selling their embroidery I made an acquaintance.  She shared her phone number with me (which is very unusual) and agreed to get together so that she could teach me and some classmates how to embroider.  That was my first open door to establish a friendship with a local Muslim woman.
