This morning we spent 4 hours at the Post Library rendering service there. We spent a little over an hour helping with a hula-hoop activity. We learned that as a child doing the hula-hoop is pretty easy, but as an adult it becomes very difficult, the reason being is not that we are not a child any more, but rather because we are still using a child's hula-hoop! There are actually adult size hoops. Elder Gowans tried using one of the adult size hoops and sure enough, it was just like being a kid again. Not only does the size matter, but the weight matters as well. They need to be heavier than a child's hoop. We had a good time "hooping" it up and helping the children.

This afternoon we had our first meeting with the Chaplain Staff. The Chaplain staff meets once a month with representatives from all denominations who have a presence on the post. This was our first opportunity to meet everyone. Elder Gowans had the opportunity to introduce himself, we were warmly received.

This evening we met with a great family. The husband is a linguist in the Navy. They have 3 cute children and live in a beautiful new home in a very new suburb. We have met wonderful families who work out here at Fort Gordon. We have been blessed to get to know them; hopefully we can help bless their lives.

Here are some photos of the hula-hoop activity at the Post Library.
