Be Careful in Ma'an

Traveling north from Aqaba on the desert highway is a city called Ma'an.  It is a place where radical extremists groups have been operating, but are kept under control by the Jordanian police.
LDS Charities works with the Ma'an clinic located there.  We are so blessed to have the Spirit with us to let us know if we are in danger.  We didn't feel any threats at all.  We were safe.

The ultra-sound machine for the clinic was donated by LDS Charities.  There is no way they could have been able to get one without our help.  People come here from all around south Jordan.  The quality is better than anything they can get in Jordan.

 The management of the clinic is being taught to set aside money every month for a new machine when this one wears out.  They are very careful and take good care of it.

 We told the woman on the right to smile for the picture, but we don't know if she did!

The Sheikh is our friend.

The clinic has a small workshop where people polish rocks and make jewelry.
