This morning we did our normal service in the Post Library. We had been doing it on Tuesday, however, we changed days to Thursday to accommodate the young missionaries so they could go back to holding their District Development Meetings on Tuesday. They like Tuesdays for some reason, maybe it is because it falls right after their P-Day, which gives them an opportunity to prepare a little more for the week ahead.

This afternoon Elder Gowans mowed the lawn of one of the sister's whose husband is deployed. It was not as hot as it was two weeks ago when he did it before. He is happy to do it for her, it is a lot of work and she has two small children that she cannot watch while she is out mowing.

This evening we visited with another wonderful family. They are expecting their first child in February, to  complicate matters, she is diabetic and has trouble controlling her blood sugars. She is rather anxious about it all, but we encouraged her to be prayerful, study the scriptures, and to not be afraid to ask Heavenly Father for the things she needs. We also reminded her to be thankful for the blessings she does enjoy.
