Yeah, yeah. I'd love to tell you some stories. In fact, right here, sitting in front of my computer, just looking at pictures from this trip, because I always take a lot of pictures. I love pictures.

And many times they'll say, you know, the mosques or the Muslims here in Jordan aren't helping us, but you're Christians and we don't understand why you're helping us. And then these men that we love so much, these Christian Arab men that run this this NGO, this non-government office, you know, organization, they share the gospel, but they're careful. They do it.

Do you know where it is? And can you get me there? I really need to get there. It's very important. And the taxi driver says, you know, I'm not sure. Maybe, why don't you get in? We'll figure it out. Inshallah, we'll get there. Inshallah for your listeners that don't know what that term means. Muslims very often use that term. It just means if God wills.

But he said, now there's another taxi there that you see. And you go over to this taxi because the first guy said, I'm not really sure.
