They don't call us Elder and Sister here in Jordan and we don't wear badges either. Our official title is "Humanitarian Service Volunteers" and we represent LDS Charities. Our names are Lynn and Myrna. Some members of the Church call us "Brother" and "Sister" but we introduce ourselves by our first names. We have to be careful in a Muslum country where they have laws against proselyting. We could be on the first flight home if we're not careful.
We attended church today in our small branch and we were the speakers. We had to have translators help us. All the announcements and lessons were given in Arabic, and then translated but President Amer said they won't be doing that again after today. There were approximately 27 attending, including some nonmembers and BYU students who are here studying Arabic. Lynn was called and set apart as a counselor and branch clerk in the branch presidency. Up until now the missionary brother has been branch president, but the time has come for local leadership. It's a good thing. These men are ready.
Take note, young women, these two handsome leaders are both eligible bachelors. The one on the right is taken already.
