This evening we went out to visit Brother DeLong; when we arrived and knocked on the door, we didn't get an answer, so we knocked one more time. Just then we heard a little noise and then we heard the dog and then the door opened. He had forgotten we were coming and was taking a nap. He works construction out at the nuclear plant and so is out doors all day long in the hot, humid environment. As many of us know, that humidity just zaps your strength after a while. We ended up having a nice visit with him. We always answer a lot of questions he has, which come in quite an array of gospel subjects. We also discussed with him the priesthood and the oath and covenant of the priesthood. We read with him out of section 84 of the Doctrine and Covenants.

After we left, we headed up to post and went to see Sister Sanders and her husband who had just come home from a deployment to El Salvador. They send work teams down there to set up communication networks, build schools, restrooms, and other important structures. He is not a member of the church, but we hope that with a little encouragement he will come out with his wife and desire to learn more. They are a very happy couple. Leyna, their 8 year old daughter will be home the middle of July and hopefully will be baptized soon thereafter.
