Nasser the Egyptian

Today (Friday the Sabbath) was the first day of the district's speaker exchange program.  On the second Friday of each month the two Arabic speaking branches in the district will each send someone to speak in the other's Sacrament Meeting.   Brother Nasser from Amman First Branch came to the North Jordan Branch today and he did a very nice job talking about the Book of Mormon.

Nasser is an Egyptian living and working in Jordan.  He is the only member of his family who is a member of the Church.  He works as a landscaper and supports his mother and sister in Egypt.  He's a good man.  Many Egyptians come to Jordan to work in construction and landscaping.  They take the jobs the Jordanians don't want.  We're so glad we got the chance to meet him.

Brother Fayez was the exchange speaker from our branch and he went to Amman to speak in the Amman Second Branch (English Speaking).  We hear he did a great job with an interpreter.  Hopefully the members in the three branches in Jordan will get to know each other better and strengthen each other through this program.
