What an interesting day this has been. It began at the Library at 0800. We were able to complete the book inventory in the young adult and children's section today. We were zipping right along. After the library we had our monthly meeting with all the chaplains and "faith groups" who work out here on the Post. It is always interesting to see what everyone is doing. After our meeting ended, we headed home for supper and then right back out on the road again to see a Sister whose husband just left for Kuwait. A very short notice deployment. He did not have time to fix their lawn mower, so she asked if we could come up and take a look. We noticed that the circular undercarriage was bent so we asked her if she had a hammer. She did not. So we looked around the yard for a good rock, found one, and with the rock we reset it and found that the blade would move fine after that. We started the mower and it worked just fine. Tomorrow Elder Gowans will go back up and mow her lawn for her; we also learned that she is expecting their first baby, in about 8 months. After we visited with her we went to visit a fellow who has been out here to school for 7 months! So he is ready to go home, he has 3 weeks left. His family lives in Arizona where his follow on assignment will be. A very nice fellow! He has a great testimony and by the sound of it a great wife and lovely children. Just after we got home Elder Berry and Elder Gowans drove back up to the base to give our still sick soldier another blessing. He was promised that things would be resolved in a matter of days.
