An Amazing Wonderful Sabbath

Today was a special day for the North Jordan Branch.  The district president and the district Relief Society president, both from Lebanon. and five other district leaders from Amman were here.  Having our leaders make the effort to come to Jordan and attend our little branch was much appreciated.  Everyone felt their love and support.

Today was significant because all the talks and lessons were in Arabic and most of the district and branch leaders are Arabic.  The branch members are starting to realize that this church is not an American church, but Jesus Christ's church.

President Assouad is the man sitting in the middle on the couch.  Everyone loves him.  It was fun to have lunch, laugh and talk after the meetings.  The Spirit we felt was amazing and wonderful.  We really feel that things are moving in the right direction.

President Assouad and other leaders are giving their support to these three Arabic young men from the North Jordan Branch as they prepare to go on missions.

President Hammond remarked that it was the best meeting he had ever attended.  He has a tendency to exaggerate, but we're happy to hear it.  It definitely was the best meeting we've ever attended in Jordan.
