Today was a day of meetings. This morning we attended our District Development Meeting and then this evening Elder Gowans attended his Branch Presidency Meeting. We have a lot of soldiers who have a great desire to advance in the Priesthood, receive help in preparing for missions and so forth. So we spend about half of our meeting in discussing their needs and what we can do to help. It is very rewarding to see these young men grow and develop. It is difficult at times do to their schedules, sometimes they can't always make it to church, so their progress is delayed, but we do what we can for them despite their schedules.

This afternoon we assisted the Sisters in teaching Nathaniel, we don't know his last name. Nathaniel had a friend there with him named Willy. Both of them really loved the lesson on the plan of salvation that was taught them today. They were amazed at how strongly the love of God is manifest in this wonderful plan of which the Savior is the central figure. When they learned that heaven contained more kingdoms than one, and that nearly all mankind will receive some degree of glory, they came to see just how loving God really is.
