What would you do if you were the only Latter-day Saint you knew
in your entire country and the only way to attend sacrament
meeting was to get over, around, or through a massive wall meant
to keep you and your people out?  And how would you make
peace with your situation and learn to forgive?

Sahar Qumsiyeh, a Palestinian from the West Bank town of
Bethlehem, found unorthodox ways to attend her meetings for 12
years until a job at a UN agency allowed her to pass through the
checkpoints freely.  As Relief Society President in the
Jerusalem District, she shares the same responsibilities as her
counterparts throughout the world, but with an added challenge of
a wall which prevents many of those in her care from ever
meeting.  Through it all, she has learned to trust the
inspiration and peace of the Holy Ghost, giving her the peace
Jesus promised; a peace not of this world.
