Last week we were asked to speak in church today. After a week of preparation the day finally came. Sister Gowans gave a very nice talk giving the congregation our background and speaking about the roll or mission of the Military Relations Missionary. After she completed her talk, Elder Gowans spoke from Alma 26:22 D&C 100:5-8 and D&C 4:2. We had many complimentary comments during the rest of our meetings. The Spirit of the Lord was very strong and powerful in our meetings. Wonderful promises were made to the Saints as they work to share the gospel.

In our servicemen's group, we had one investigator there who simply came on his own. He had to leave early to make a mandatory formation, so we didn't have time to talk to him after the services. I will give him a call later to see how he enjoyed our meetings. Also, one of our servicemen's family made it out here from Montana; they were all together in the congregation too. It was wonderful to see them all together, he was very happy to have them.We missed some of our regulars today, hopefully they are all well.

This evening we paid a visit to a fellow who is single and has made the army a second career. He had taught school for about 10 years and then decided to join the army. He was making sweet rolls when we arrived; he bakes for himself every Sunday afternoon. After our visit with him we went over to another couples house who live close by; they really struggle, so hopefully our visit cheered them up.
