We had a wonderful day at church today. Several of our AIT students and permanent party soldiers came out to enjoy the Sabbath day. Also, the A/C is finally working. It has been out all summer long! Finally, today, it was actually cool in the chapel. Brother Mardanlou who came to us at the first of the month, was interviewed for baptism and was determined ready for baptism. He will be baptized this coming Sunday after our services are completed. He is a wonderful young man; I know the Lord has a great future for him as he continues to grow and stay worthy.

We also continue to teach and review with Brother Yanke. He is a very quiet young man; it is hard to hear what he says, but he seems determined to continue to grow and progress in the gospel. We have a lot of good folks here at Fort Gordon. We pray for them and hope that they will continue to stay faithful to their covenants.
