After our late night last night, we were able to sleep in this morning and get the rest we needed.
This afternoon Elder Gowans attended his chaplain's meeting and while there and before it started he went up to say hi to a chaplain of Korean descent. Chaplain Pyun stated that he had been reading the Book of Mormon, which gave Elder Gowans the opportunity to visit with him about it and help him understand a few things. But the Chaplain seemed to be very impressed with the book and so hopefully, in the future, he will have other opportunities to talk to him about it. Sister Gowans went to the PX to do some shopping for the Cheney family girls, so that when they come to FHE they will have some fun games to play.

After the meeting we went to visit Sister Scroggins. We found her at home after being a way most of the summer. We also learned that her husband, Obe, is going to be gone an additional year. He was selected to be a commander of the unit where he is now working; so that will require that he be gone an additional year. Poor lady, poor boys, to be without their husband and father for 2 years. We try to keep up with her, but she seems to always be busy, so we catch her when we can. After our visit with Sister Scroggins, we visited Sister Fordham. Her husband will return home about 2 months. We are all excited for her and the others of the ward who deployed with him. We will have several ward members come home at that time.

This evening we went out to visit a family who has never returned our calls; so we thought we would just drop in on them. Well, we knocked on the door, the dogs barked, children's voices, a man's voice, and a woman's voice was all heard, then it became very quiet. Of course, no one opened the door to us either.

We then drove up on Post and dropped off a letter to one of our AIT students so he could work permission to attend the temple with us. From there we went to visit an old friend of ours who we worked with in the library, Dave White. We found his home and after knocking he came to the door; he was so thrilled to see us, he was so excited! He invited us in and we proceeded to have a wonderful conversation; after a few minutes, his wife joined us, and she was so thrilled to see us too, we had never met. After about an hour of visiting, Elder Gowans asked if we could leave them with a thought and a prayer. He opened a blue copy of the Book of Mormon to 2 Ne. 25 and read to them Nephi's proclamation of our belief in Christ. He then placed in that page a pass along card and handed the book to Dave. He was so thrilled to accept a copy of the Book of Mormon. It was if he could not contain himself. His wife also! He promised that he would read from it, they both did. They asked us to return again and we promised that we would. What a wonderful Spiritual evening!
