Trying to do Something Good

Sunday (not the Sabbath) we were invited to go to Ramtha to see some Syrian refugee children get immunized against measles in a local Health Center.

Our friend Baseem, supervisor of public health and supervisor of health education marked the fingernail of each child after they received the vaccine.

On our way home from Ramtha we stopped by the King Adbullah Hospital to see a member of our branch who is is undergoing treatment for lung cancer.  We have been working with a supplier in Amman who can provide an oxygenator for her so she can go home.  The funds will come from fast offerings.  What a great blessing.

Just as a side note, the line-up of people wanting assistance from the Church isn't nearly as long as it was 6 months ago.  The members are starting to learn that this is not the bank of Jesus Christ--it's the Church of Jesus Christ.  President Amer is teaching the principles of self-reliance and Lynn is teaching him.

Lynn spent a good part of the afternoon on the phone counseling with President Amer about selecting a new counselor to take the place of Morad, who was sustained as a counselor in the new district presidency.  There aren't a lot of people in the branch to choose from. In the end Lynn told President Amer it was between him and the Lord.
