This has been a fine day. After attending our meetings in the Grovetown ward, we went to our Serviceman's group meetings out at Fort Gordon. We met two new servicemen, fine young men who are here for training. Then we learned that one of the servicemen who has been coming out with his battle buddy who is LDS has agreed to be baptized this coming Saturday. We are so pleased for this news. He is a real nice young man, we are so happy for him. He will be baptized on Saturday the 16th at 11am. We will have to sign him out of his unit, off base and then take him directly to the church house and then directly back to his unit. He is very excited and seemed to be real happy about this decision.

After meetings we brought two of the Elders back home with us and fed them dinner. Elder Tonga from the kingdom of Tonga and Elder Clark. I'll tell you what, Elder Tonga ate 3 full plates of fried rice! Wow, what an appetite. After dinner we drove back out to the post and met with two of our military familes, the Demings and the Alberts. Brother Deming is an assistant chaplain and the Grovetown ward's High Priest Group Leader. They have 4 sons. Then we met with the Alberts who just had their first baby this past week. Both are fine families and we were happy to meet them and they us. It has been a great day! We love this work.
