This morning we did 4 hours of book inventory, most all of them were books about war; the war of independence, the civil war and so forth. Made me think of how much war, the thoughts of war, the tragedies of war and so forth occupies our lives.

This evening we had a nice dinner and visit with another one of our great families. He is in the Bishopric, so we were able to discuss some families in the ward who may at this time or soon will need our assistance. A big deployment is coming up soon, which will have a large impact on our members.
