We were up early this morning and off to pick up our AIT students who were going with us to the temple. We picked up 3 at one company and then took them to pick up two other fellows. The letter of the law states that if they are going off post and older than 21, they need two battle buddies. So we took the two and didn't have any problem getting them checked out. We had a total of 14 attend today, with one of our young soldiers, Brother Mardanlou, going for the first time.

Brother and Sister Manwaring; she came out to be with her husband for two weeks while he is in training. He finishes in October, the same day we fly out for Joe's wedding.

This afternoon, after returning home, President Estep and Elder Gowans dashed up to the Stake Center to attend the 4 pm Priesthood Leadership meeting; that ended at 6, we then met the girls (our wives), at Zaxby's and had a snack before the 7 pm Adult Session of Conference. They were wonderful events, we were well instructed, the Spirit was powerful and we were all uplifted and edified. 

While at the temple we saw some friends: 

 Sister Mack, her husband just deployed 2 weeks ago.
