Highlights:*We met FIVE people from Damascus this week. And we had incredible appointments with most of them.
* We taught a family from Iraq, who somehow managed to see something about Joseph Smith in Iraq 10 years ago. She talked about a boy whose family was a "Gardner", or farmer, and who asked God about His church. She didn't understand everything, but she asked her friend about it, but he didn't know anything either, so he looked it up. He told her what he'd learned, and she decided that if she ever moved to America, that she would follow Joseph Smith. Her daughter knew of Joseph Smith too. The Dad kept making interjections in Arabic that we couldn't understand at all. They served us a feast, and I had some of the pita bread stuff, but it tasted like smoke, which was disappointing. Two salads, hummus, ground beef wraps, chicken nuggets, French fries, cookies. It was awesome!
*We had a shocking SEVEN people come to church at some point yesterday. The Lord is shaking the heavens, and hastening His work!

| Riding the "Mormon Express" to church |
"Gewissensbiss" is a word in German used for "regret". What is so fascinating is that "gewissen" is "what you know" or "to know" and "biss" means "bite". So directly translated, it means "knowledge-bite".
Regret is when we recognize what our actions of have done, and it hurts!
Which leads me to my thought for the week:
forming a fresh view of God,
ourselves, and the world."
That's all I have time for...
Love always, Sister Roderer
