It is amazing to know that the church is growing even here in a Muslim country where we cannot do missionary work. It is a great comfort to know that our prophet and the apostles know how much we need their support and encouragement here and come in spite of the risks. Elder Holland spent his time meeting with saints and building bridges with leaders and the communities here. The three meetings I was a part of with Elder Holland were very uplifting and I had about twelve pages of notes after I typed them all up. Again we got to shake his hand as we left the Doha meeting and thank him for coming and that was great. I never know what to say when I meet someone I admire and look up to. My tongue and personality get all goofy and I feel like a doofus when it is over. Oh well, I hope he has the gift of tongues so he could translate my blather into coherent thanks and gratitude.
