A new role and opportunity was offered to Albert while they were in SEA, which he commenced in a volunteer capacity until the incumbent left with his family across the seas - they too, were heading for SEA.
And so Albert failed retirement! And what a joy this failure was to be for him. He was enthusiastic in the early days and remains so, even today! "How great is our God", he is heard to say from time to time - even in the midst of challenges and tough times. It was one of the best jobs he'd ever had - Egypt excluded!
Egypt is excluded because his time there was beyond description - no one could have foretold the joys, the challenges, the relationships he was to make, the freedom he had in this severe and harsh country, or the way it stretched him beyond his belief. It remains as the pinnacle of all experiences for him.
