Moment #493. Arabic. Thurs, Nov 24, 2005.

11/24/2005. A friend invited me to his family's Thanksgiving feast. There was a large turnout from his extended family. One of his in-laws is from the Middle East. He expressed interest in seeing the Arabic Book of Mormon, so I brought one in and showed it to him, along with an Arabic/English New Testament. He accepted them, but confessed that his Arabic reading skills were very rusty. I suggested he could pass them on to others, and he indicated he would probably do that after reading what he could. His wife gave an approving-type smile when she saw us talking. Later I saw his young son flipping through the New Testament.
