Today we sat down together and did a little companionship inventory. We looked at how things were going and what we could do to improve and use our time and gas a little wiser. We discussed how best and when would be best to try to get up and meet the soldiers in training. They are very difficult to get with! All the companies have different schedules of training, chow, formation time and so forth. So we came up with a plan of action and now for the next month we will see how it works.

This evening we met with a family who may be related to our Bishop back home; there is always a possibility when you have the same last name and a last name that is not very common. As we were on our way to see this family, we received a call from the second family we were to meet with and they asked us to cancel the appointment for that evening. So we decided to call another fellow who is single and who is our age and see what we could do for him. We helped him out by taking him to the Home Depot to buy new sprinkler heads and then to a roadside stand to buy and a watermelon.
