This morning we attended the graduation of Sister Lacey Wessels. She arrived about 2 months ago. Elder Gowans saw her sitting by herself in the Augusta ward one morning waiting for Sacrament meeting to begin. Went over and introduced himself to her and learned that she was here for Advanced Leadership School. He informed her of the meetings on post along with FHE and Institute. She has been very faithful in attending and participating in all of our activities. We will miss her.
 Sister Wessels and her sister. She came in from Charleston to be with her for her graduation. 
After the graduation, we returned to our apartment and then dashed up to a job fair to see if we could help our son-in-law David get any leads on jobs as a computer animator. We did find some possibilities; so we passed them on to him. Afterward, we headed out for the afternoon to visit a couple of our lonely Sisters. We visited Sister Swartz and Sister Stott and had a nice visit with both ladies. We invited sister Stott up to the post on Friday to attend October Fest with us. We will only be able to be with her an hour before we will need to go to Institute, but she should be able to have a good time with her two little girls.

This evening we visited the Janssen family. He just returned from deployment. She was baptized about 4 months ago and has encouraged him to listen to the missionaries. So we made an appointment with them to begin the ball rolling on his learning and gaining a testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. We had an excellent, spiritual discussion with them. We know he felt the Spirit there tonight. We challenged him to be baptized as he comes to learn and know the truth of what we will teach him. He accepted the challenge, stating that he would be baptized when he comes to know the truth. From there we hopped over to visit the Holloway family. Their oldest son, Josh, had brain surgery last week to see if they could stop seizers from occurring. So far it appears that it is working. He seemed to be in very good spirits. We had a great evening  and a great day!
