Waiting on the corner of Westwood Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard near the Los Angeles California Temple a few years ago, I was surprised to see that the bus bench by which I was standing bore an advertisement in Persian (aka Farsi) for a local dentist. But not too surprised. Because of its very large population of Iranian emigres, the city is sometimes called Tehrangeles.
Quite a number of years ago, I spoke in a ward in Toronto, Canada, where there is also an exceptionally large number of Iranian expatriates. After sacrament meeting the ward’s Iranian-born mission leader asked me to join him for his investigator class, which consisted of something on the order of twenty Iranians.
Interesting things are happening.
