This morning we drove out to Fort Gordon and picked up 3 servicemen and took them to the Columbia South Carolina Temple. Two of the men were AIT students, one of which was baptized last month. The other fellow was here TDY for some extended training, he is out of Provo, UT. It is about 90 minutes to the temple from here. We arrived just before 10:00am and was in the temple until about noon. We had a very special time. It is a great experience for these folks to be able to go and get away from the Post environment for a few hours and go somewhere where they can feel the Spirit of God. After leaving the temple we ate lunch at Bojangles, similar to KFC. We made it home about 3pm and then headed over to visit one of our other troops who was denied permission to go with us. He took it all well and had a nice visit with him.
As with most Saturday evenings we spent an hour or so making appointments for next week. We were also able to get a hold of a brand new troop who just arrived in town this week. He was very happy to hear from us. People are always so happy to know that someone cares for them.
