It has been a long, busy, but successful Sabbath Day. We welcomed two new soldiers to our Servicemen's group this afternoon. It is always wonderful to see new soldiers make the effort to come out and worship. One of the soldiers is suffering from stress fractures in both legs. Elder Gowans went to his CQ and asked if he could be transported to the chapel in the company van; the CQ was rather reluctant, but said he would. We waited to go until after the CQ had checked out all those waiting to go places so they wouldn't have to wait for the van to leave and come back.  The CQ took him down to the chapel and Elder Gowans had to jog down since it is against the rules for civilians to ride in the company van.

This evening we visited two families who both attend the Augusta Ward. We have nearly completed visiting all the Grovetown ward military members. While we were visiting the second family they told us of a lady who lived just two doors down who was military and low and behold it was a lady who we had been trying to find. When we are out and about the Lord helps us find His lost sheep, they are not lost to Him, and if we are out and about doing our duty, then He can lead us to those who are lost. If we are just sitting home on the couch, then there is not much He can do to help us.
