Virginia Malah, one of the most faithful members of our branch, is married to a Muslim man. They met and married in the United States and spent a few years there before coming to Jordan to live. She has never been allowed to teach her children anything about the gospel and for a time she wasn't even allowed to come to church but over the years her husband has relaxed the rules and she has much more freedom. Virginia still wears a burka when she goes out, but does it out of respect for her husband's wishes. She is good to him and has adapted well to his Muslim family and her situation. In return, he allows her to come to church and to serve the women in the branch.
Today Virginia was sustained as the new Relief Society President in the North Jordan Branch.
Virginia (President), Halla (Visiting Teaching Supervisor), Myrna (2nd Counselor), Samera (1st Counselor) The secretary, Samaya doesn't like to have her picture taken so she went missing.
