We met with two great families this evening. The first family has only been here about 3 weeks and the second family is here for Advanced Warrant Officer Training. They will be here until at least November. The husband has a brother who is also stationed here so we met with all of them. As we meet with these families, we try to get to know them and help them get to know us, too. We explain to them the role and mission of the Military Relations Missionary and then invite them to call upon us if and whenever they may ever need us. We always leave them with a scriptural thought and a prayer and blessing upon them. We have met many tremendous families and we still have many more to meet.

Yesterday, we sent a text message to our young troop who has been experiencing severe pain around his heart, but he never texted us back. The impression came that he was in the hospital. Since we were going to the hospital this morning for additional blood work and medication for Sister Gowans, we thought we would check to see if he was indeed there and sure enough he was. We made time to go up and visit with him and found him to be in good spirits. We have since learned that there is nothing wrong with his heart for which we are very grateful. They are still trying to determine what is causing the severe pain that he is experiencing. Hopefully that will be done soon.
