Another great Sabbath day in Augusta! As normal we attended the Grovetown ward this morning. Nearly every week we have someone new coming to church who is here to attend training at Fort Gordon. Today was no different. When ever someone comes in for training they are usually by themselves, so we always invite them to attend the activities we have on the post; such as FHE and Institute. We also inform them of the servicemen's group, as well so they have the option of attending either meeting. This morning a single sailor came into the Grovetown meeting. We met him and when we found out he was single and will most likely not have transportation in the future, he was very happy to learn of the meetings on post. On our way to the servicemen's group we stopped by the Fisher House so the Henrie family could follow us to the chapel. We had Brother Henrie's wife, 2 boys and his mother with us at the meetings. They all seemed to have an enjoyable experience being able to attend church. Elder Gowans assigned Sister Gowans to teach the boys a primary class, she was in seventh heaven. After the meetings concluded we took the sacrament to Brother Henrie in the hospital and then he requested another blessing as the hospital was going to discharge him and send him home back to Fort Campbell that night, a nearly 6 hour drive. He was in no condition to be making such a drive and the hospital had no business sending him home in such a condition either. Bad on them.  We both hope that he makes it home without too much pain or difficulty.

Afterward, we visited two of our military families; the second family had a little get-together going on so we were able to meet 3 other of our military families that we had  not yet met. We had a nice visit together, and then they fed us some supper which was real nice.
