A Historic Day in Jordan!

Today was a fantastic day at church. We went to the Amman 1st branch (small congregation) of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was the first worship for the Arabic language branch of the Church here in Amman. All of the worship meetings were held in Arabic. One of my favorite parts of the services today was the Sunday School lesson. In the lesson the teacher quoted this scripture from the Book of Mormon, "For the Lord God giveth light unto the understanding; for he speaketh unto men according to their language, unto their understanding" (2 Nephi 31:3). It was such an amazing experience to be present for the first worship services of the Church to be held completely in Arabic in Amman.  It's exactly as Daniel said in Daniel 2:45, the kingdom of God is rolling forward as a stone cut out of the mountain without hands and it will someday fill the whole earth.
