This morning and afternoon, we attended student graduations. This morning graduation was for a Basic Officer Course attended by 2Lts. A member of the Church had been in the class for four months. She was so excited to be going home. She lives and works in Washington State, her husband is not a citizen of the U.S. so is not able to obtain sufficient work, so she decided to join the army to supplement their income. Then this afternoon two of our LDS students graduated from Advanced Individual Training. One student is married, no one from his family was able to come out, so our being there was nice for him. The other's parents came out, which we were happy for.

 Brother Lee, married, a son was born to him about 3 weeks ago.

This evening we visited only one family, one had to postpone their appointment due to illness in the family. The family we visited was older than most of the families we visit. They already have adult children and their youngest children are 11, twin girls. We had a nice visit with them and learned that the girls are very talented, each in a different things. One girl writes poetry and the other girl likes to be involved in good causes. In fact she raised $1000.00 for cancer patients; she raised it by donating all of her hair and then having people pledge any amount of money when she did it. Her hair now is about 1/4 of an inch long. Since one of our appointments was postponed for the evening, we drove around trying to find people we had on our roster; we had four people to find, when we did find their homes, not one of them was home. Four strikes, but one home run.
