Amman District Leadership Meeting

The district presidency has been trying to hold a district training meeting for all the branch leaders in the 3 branches here in Amman every month.  Our little group of leaders from the North Jordan Branch is very faithful in attending, and we don't have trouble convincing the members to go because it's an outing and their transportation is paid.  We all enjoy the meetings very much.

Recently the church was able to get some headsets brought in from the U.S. and now we have translation available for everyone.  Now are all able to enjoy the instructions from our leaders in our own language.

After the meeting, the new couple, the Phillips, invited everyone into the missionary apartment area of the building for food  Most of the members didn't even know the area was there and it was really fun to sit and visit with them in the homey atmosphere  The members of our branch are all very poor and we had to watch them carefully so they didn't scoop up all the cookies and fill their pockets before everyone got served.  Hunger trumps manners.

Ironically, the instruction we received in the meeting was on fasting.

The Amman district will all fast next month for the softening of hearts and for the growth of the Church here.
