This morning we got to work on our Friday's Institute lesson, then we went up to the church for our weekly DDM with the younger missionaries. It was a good meeting, I think we are able to help them out when they role play their teaching skills. We learned while at the meeting that last night two of our Elders were victims of drive by shootings by people shooting BB guns. People! really, you are a very sad lot when you sink to such levels as this, shooting at two young men on bikes, who are out trying to do good for others.

Sister Gowans had an appointment today to have her knee checked out. The doctor told her there is arthritis in the knee and a lack of fluid that should be in there. So she will go back once a week for 3 weeks to have injections to see if that will help stimulate the knee to produce its own fluid.

We had two great appointments this evening; the first one was with a fellow who works in the same area that Elder Gowans does his Red Cross service. A very nice family with a very interesting history. The second family lives out in Harlem, GA and are members of the Harlem Ward; he is the Elder's Quorum President. He was very helpful in supplying names of military families along with phone numbers and addresses for us to use in contacting them. It will be a big help to us to have this list. This evening we made contact with several of them.
