General Conference in the Middle East

It wasn't too long ago that watching General Conference when we lived outside of Utah wasn't very easy.  In Africa, we waited several weeks for the video tapes to arrive.  When we lived in Michigan someone convinced local TV stations to broadcast the Sunday session (sometimes).  In Texas and California we went to the church to watch the broadcast over satellite.

Today we watched conference live right here in our apartment in Jordan.  How amazing is that?  The first Saturday morning session began at 7:00 p.m.   The problem is that by the time they said the closing prayer at the end of the Priesthood session was around 5 a.m.  We didn't make through the whole thing.....but it doesn't matter, we'll watch the parts we missed any time we want on LDS.org.
We can even watch the translated version in Arabic, but we probably won't.


This is such a wonderful time.  We've seen so many really amazing miracles happen in our lifetime.
