Message from Iraq

Remember Mark Tiari, the young man from Iraq who was denied a visa to come to Jordan for youth conference?  Well, here's the rest of the story from Facebook this morning:


"Thanks God for the technology and it was a blessing to meet in the conference through skype ‪#‎lds‬ ‪#‎youthconference"

Mark is 14 years old.  He was one of the speakers at youth conference via Skype.  His talk was on baptism.  He's solid in his testimony and wants to go to BYU some day.  Like the sons of Helaman in the Book of Mormon, he has been taught the gospel by his mother.

One more thing about the Tiari's--even though they live in Iraq, they are members of our branch here in Jordan.  Their attendance isn't too good--they haven't attended any of our meetings for about 9 years.  Their wish is that they can come here and feel of the spirit in our Sacrament Meeting, but they can't.  May the Lord bless this dear family.
