Yesterday we heard a loud boom and the windows shook. Lynn said it was probably the wind blowing one of the doors shut. Later on we found out that a stray shell from Syria had come over across the border into Ramtha about 10 miles from here and hit a house and that's what shook our windows. A young man was killed and 4 people were sent to the hospital with injuries. There were four other "stray" shells during the day.
This morning the members of the church from Irbid were all excited that the traffic around streets by the mosques was being rerouted because the cities of Ramtha and Irbid were expecting protests. People are kind of edgy anyway because they're fasting and they've been staying up all night. We decided to send everyone home after Sacrament Meeting for their safety.
As far as we can find out, nothing much happened. The police were ready and had all the streets around the mosques blocked off. In a few days everything should be back to normal. No announcements from the embassy, so we should be okay.
