Assalam u alaikum Ammi, Abu, Khadija, Abdullah, Sauleha, Nana, Khala, and everyone in Edmonton,
Alhamdulillah we are sitting Terminal 4 right now of London Heathrow. The great thing about travelling is that it really reminds you how dependent you are on Allah and how you really don't have that much control over anything. As I was sitting on the bus taking us from Terminal 3 to Terminal 4, I realized that this guy could be taking us absolutely anywhere and we would have no ability to figure that out or to stop him. That's when you just have to do tawakkul and leave off the worrying.
Alhamdulillah we haven't had any problems so far apart from a surly lady in Edmonton who was checking our boarding passes. When it took me a few seconds to get the boarding passes out of my pouch (which is highly annoying I'm never taking it again) I had to get out both Mustafa and my passport and boarding passes. She says, 'He's a big boy, he can do it himself.' We both just grinned and put the boarding passes back into the pouch. By the way the poach is not that bad it's just a little cumbersome to get stuff out of. : D
We tried to help the Uncle who was with us as much as possible but we had to split up when we had to transfer over to Terminal 4. It was neat to be able to help someone when we ourselves were only doing this for the first time.
Other than that alhamdulillah we are doing really well and excited to go to Cairo. Insha'allah made du'a for us because it it working tremendously well.

Alhumdulillah, that you wrote because everyone here was eating in silence. and listening for the phone. I hope that you got your boarding passes alright and that you are feeling well. Ameer, remember to put the vaseline on your neck. Mustafa, remember to eat well. Both of you make dua for us because you are traveling and are very close to Allah. Everyone here is fine. Abdullah is eating boiled eggs for breakfast, but we'll have to go to cosco to get some oranges for juice. Abu is just leaving for the Sherwood Park Clinic.
We just talked to you on the phone and everyone is fighting now because they didn't get to talk to you. That's ok. You sounded a bit tired, inshallah, Allah give you lots of strength.
Sauleha is saying, "When I went into your room, my heart felt like the house was empty. Especially when the door to Ameer's room in the basement was open and I went inside to check at Fajr time."
It is very windy here - about -30-40. Abdullah wants to write his own comment.
Mustafa, remind Ameer to put the vaseline on his neck and arms.
