This morning when we arrived at the hospital for our Red Cross service, Elder Gowans was asked if he wanted to stay on the ninth floor or move down to the 6th floor where he was needed much more urgently. He said he would happily move to the 6th floor; after all that is why he volunteered there; not to sit and do nothing. The sixth floor handles all the patients recovering from same day procedures. Once they recover then they are taken down to the front and taken home.

This afternoon Elder Gowans mowed the lawn of our sister whose husband recently deployed. It is a good sized yard and takes about an hour and a half. She does not have a weed eater, so he weeds by hand; he does a section at a time every week. Hopefully she will eventually buy a weed eater.
