This morning after our service at the Post Library, we went to visit Sister Westbrook. We always visit her in her barrack's day room. We had a real nice visit with her and discussed with her the lesson from President Monson about pioneers and how she is a modern-day pioneer being the first member of the church in her family. Her posterity will rise up and bless her and be grateful for the day that she was baptized a member of the church.

Afterward we dashed home for lunch and then back to post to attend the graduation of a young lady, though not a member of the church, she became a real good friend, Sister Redfern. A very sweet young lady who we enjoyed visiting and talking to. She had quite a few family members there with her, so we were not the only ones there to see her graduate as normally is the case.

From there we went to see the Murray family. Brother Murray is home for two weeks from his deployment after being gone for 6 months. He returns on the 20th to finish up his tour of duty, which should bring him home in December or January. We had a real nice visit with them; he has a lot of frustrations, but we think he is doing much better than he was before he left. Sister Murray was not up to par; she was suffering from a headache, so hopefully we didn't wear her out too much.

After the Murrays, we went to see the Halfords. He serves as a councilor in the Branch Presidency. His wife suffers from various aliments, which keep her at home most of the time. However, this evening, she seemed much more perky or chipper. We had probably our best visit with them since we began visiting them several months ago.

We had another great rainstorm again today. We have had afternoon rain showers  nearly daily since the beginning of June.
