It is not often that we have an adult fireside, but tonight we did. It was held at the home of President and Sister Ross. The program involved Brother and Sister Matis and their mission to Damascus, Syria. They spent just over two years there and had a lot of good experiences. They were there because of the affiliation that BYU has with the University in Damascus, and their purposes were largely humanitarian in nature, aside from his professorship at the University.
Their insight on the people, culture, history and economics of Syria were enlightening. I learned a great deal about Syria that I had never known.
Below are a few pictures of the fireside. There was a great turnout and the fellowship was warm.
