This morning we went back to Fort Gordon to work on our Red Cross volunteer application. We were able to only get one thing done, then we found out that we had not properly finished our on line education and training. So we came home and worked on that most of the afternoon. This evening we met with an old retired Air Force fellow, who had been excommunicated from the church some time ago and who is working on having his blessings of church membership restored to him. We visited for about an hour and encouraged him to do what ever is required of him by his Heavenly Father. Then we encouraged him to be prayerful and to study his scriptures everyday. He stated that he had a hard time remembering to do that, he is still working on an addiction problem; so I told him to study the scriptures in the addiction workbook and that would give him a good start. After we came home we spoke with the fellow who is supposed to be taking him to church and verified that he was still planning on doing that. When I called him back he said he wanted to come to family home evening on Monday, so we told him we would pick him up for that.

We made our final preparations for Institute Friday evening. We feel that we are ready to give our first lessons. We will be fixing up a big pot of Korean Fried Rice to take with us. Yummy, it will be good.
