Gerald's update

Asalaamu Alaikum
Lots of things are changing for me these days so i have some updates finally. It was great to spend time with the brothers at Shamims wedding and I look forward to seeing you all again soon. I was recently laid off from my teaching job, which was a bit concerning but alhamdulilah I was hired to teach high school chemistry and this job is pretty nice hours pay and potential growth opportunities are much improved in addition, my next masters degree will be largely subsidized. Plus I have my own mini lab access to chemicals and fire so I am a kid in a candy shop.
Insha Allah we are expecting our child to be born any day now alhamdulilah. This pregnancy has been the most challenging for my wife but thus far things seem to be going well.
Keep us in your dua as we do the same for you all

Salaam
