This afternoon we visited Sister Westbrook for a home teaching visit; we had a nice visit with her. Afterward we dropped in on Sister Wooley, a new family in the ward whose husband is suffering from many war relaed mental illnesses. We wanted to see how she was doing; she seemed much happier and more settled from the first time we saw her last week. We hope things continue to improve for the entire family.

Later in the afternoon, we attended the graduation ceremony for one of our LDS soldiers, Brother Jessop, and the son of one of Elder Gowans' old B-52 buddies, Anthony Ramos. It was great to see him and his wife; if recollection is correct, it has been around 25 years since we were at Barksdale AFB together. It is incredible how fast time flies. Brother Jessop came to church after his arrival at Fort Gordon for a couple of 3 weeks, after that he never returned. We did see him from time-to-time during our Saturday morning visits.

This evening we did our Home Teaching visits to the Branch and Relief Society Presidency. We visited the Esteps, the Halfords and Sister Arnett. We gave them all as a lesson the article on the Atonement out of the March Ensign.
