This morning Elder Gowans began his service with the Red Cross. His assignment is to wheel patients to appointments within the hospital or to take them out to a waiting car when the are discharged. Sister Gowans needed to stay home today to be there when the new dryer arrived. We are rarely apart, today was one of those days.

This afternoon we met with another fine family. They are both fellow graduates of BYU, they met in the Cougar Marching Band, isn't that cool! They both play the French Horn. In fact that is what he does in the army, he plays in the army band. He never deploys!

After our meeting with the family we drove out to the post and had family night with our little servicemen's family home evening group. We ate pizza and played Apples to Apples and did a lot of talking and visiting. The lesson was on how we can better apply the atonement of Jesus Christ in our lives.
