I'm going to come clean right up front and admit that this post has nothing to do with my life in Nicaragua. But something exciting has happened to someone I love dearly and I wanted to share it with you guys since I know we're always thinking of goals, right? Well, my sister, Adria, and brother-in-law, T.J. have been taking Arabic classes for about two years and with a small group of friends, trying to meet the needs of the Arabic community in St.Louis, MO. Well, I'm happy to report that they were recently recognized by the Society as a formal group being hosted by the Affton Congregation (also St.Louis). That means that they can now have friends switch publisher cards to their congregation and are having one meeting a week. Maybe just maybe they can have a formal class soon. Ever think about learning Arabic? Oh, and in case you're wondering, the word above means CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

| Iraqi couple Mahmood & Majida. They're a Bible study in St.Louis and incredibly hospitable. I enjoyed the day I got to observe their study. They kept commenting about how the Bible and the Koran have so many similarities. I saw that as a good thing--something to open their eyes that the Bible isn't a bad book. |
