Today has been wonderful! We headed out of the house around 0730 and headed up to post to visit our Student/Soldiers. Our first stop was B-447 where we thought we might have a new arrival, Sister Flygare. Sure enough we learned that she was there. The Platoon Sgt sent a runner to her room to ask her to come and visit with us. Soon afterward she came down; what a very pleasant young lady. Her Nickname is Noodle, because she is so thin. Afterward our visit with her, we visited each of our LDS students in that company, which now is up to 6. We had good visits with them; we have a good group of soldiers there and we hope that we can keep them growing and progressing. At 0930 Sister Estep and Brother Marzolf came out to join us in our visits. For the next two hours we visited our soldiers; in total we were able to make 18  visits, to include two new soldiers that we had not yet been able to meet. It was a very successful morning.

From the post we dashed home, Elder Gowans dropped off Sister Gowans so she could rest and try to get better and then He went to the Augusta ward building to join a group of new converts, to include 3 military, on a temple trip up to the South Carolina Columbia Temple. We had marvelous experiences. Everyone was so thrilled to be in the temple for the first time; the excitement was greater than Christmas morning.
Here are a couple of photos of the group.

 I couldn't tell you all the names in this group; however, the couple right of center is the Zenger family. Both are returned missionaries and have a great spirit of service.
