This afternoon at the beginning of Priesthood Meeting, Elder Gowans ordained Brother Mardanlou a Priest in the Aaronic Priesthood. It was a very special experience as Brother Mardanlou received a very powerful blessing. He is a special young man, we wish there would be a way for us to keep in contact with him in the future; he will be active duty in the Army, maybe there will be a way for us to get acquainted with his family after we return home.

This evening, we had the opportunity to meet Brother Donny Johnson's mother. If you remember, we have been meeting with him and his family every Sunday evening to help bring them back into activity. She came out with her youngest daughter, Lainey, to be with her second grandchild as she goes off to school for the first time, tomorrow morning. She is a sweet lady, Lainey, is 18, soon to be 19 and has been called to serve in Columbus, Ohio mission.
