This evening we had a very unusual event occur. First, we drove over to Grovetown to visit a new military family in the area, the Cooleys. They are a young couple with two small little girls; he is a linguist, she is an aspiring writer. We had a real nice visit with them. Afterwards, we drove down to the Augusta chapel to attend a stake-wide Boy Scout court of honor. During the summer they all combined together and attended a 100 year anniversary LDS/Boy Scouts of America commemorative camporee at the Daniel Boone Boy Scout reservation. All total, they earned several hundred merit badges and other awards. President Estep was awarded his Wood Badge beads (I guess that is the appropriate term).

The crowd filled the church gymnasium for the Court of Honor

Prior to the evening, Elder Gowans took two of our young Elders over to teach a single mom. We read with her from the Book of Mormon of Christ's advent in the American Continent. She was very interested in the things we read and talked about; she seems genuinely interested in learning more.
