We had a wonderful Sabbath day. Elder Gowans taught our Gospel principles class today, a class for those who are investigating the church. The lesson subject matter was on the topic of Sacrifice; we learned that the Lord requires of us certain things and those things maybe different for each individual. Of course the commandments are all the same for each of us, however, as Christ's encounter with the Rich Young Man teaches us that for him to receive salvation the Lord required of him to sell all that he hath and distribute to the poor. Then we learned that our sacrifices need to be offered willingly, not with a doubtful heart, or with sorrow, but with faith.

We visited our friend again up in Doctor's hospital. We took his dirty clothes home with us and washed them this evening so that when he returns home he will have clean clothes to wear. He hopes to return home in about 10 days or less.

We had a rather sad visit with a military family this evening. When it came down to the end they said that they were happy in their inactivity in the church; they didn't feel like anything was missing in their lives. What they were not taking into account was their children. The children will grow up without the fullness of the gospel of Christ in their lives. Yes, their parents may teach them good values, but there will not be any example of fellowship with the Saints while attending the Sabbath meetings. There will not be any saving ordinances performed such as baptism and receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost. We encouraged them to at sometime meet with the Bishop and discuss this with him and see if he had any counsel for them.

We love our work!
