Visiting the Relief Society Sisters

I set a goal to visit all the branch Relief Society sisters in their homes.  Here's what we do:

1.  Pick up Huda (RS President who speaks no English) and her daughter (speaks limited English).

2.  Pray (very important!)

3.  Go through nightmare traffic for about 45 minutes depending on who we are going to visit.

4.  Sit and smile for 20-30 minutes while everyone talks in Arabic.

5.  Eat some sugary treat served by from each person we visit.

6.  Fight nightmare traffic and try to keep Lynn's head from exploding.

7.  Return home about 3-6 hours later.

8.  Pray.  We're thankful for the opportunity and grateful to be home safe.


We feel so blessed that even though we don't speak the language, we are able to understand and communicate.  It's amazing what the Spirit can do.
