The Jordan Dubai Islamic Bank

Last week the ATM in the mall "ate" our money.  We banged and punched and kicked at the machine, but it wouldn't budge.  In desperation we walked over to a nearby bank which was under construction and asked if anyone could help us.

Like true Jordanians, the officers were falling all over themselves to help.  The Head of Sales and Service called the number on the machine for us but wasn't able to reach anyone.  The Branch Manager came and tried to do what he could.  We were so grateful and enjoyed making new friends.

Today was the grand opening of the Jordan Dubai Islamic Bank so we bought some flowers and stopped by with a thank-you note.  We were invited in for coffee and chocolates.  We explained that because of our religious beliefs we don't take coffee.  One of the men replied, "Oh so you can have healthy bodies."

Sometimes we don't know why we're led to certain people, but we never pass an opportunity to make friends.  Something about these people is special.  They don't know we're Mormons but we hope they will see the light in our eyes and feel of our love.  We certainly felt theirs.
