This morning we served at the Library for only 2 hours or so, no one had anything for us to do. So we straightened up the children's books and then headed home.

This afternoon, we attended the graduation of 3 of our soldiers:

Brothers Edwards, Smith and Nation

Brother Smith is a 3rd great grandson of Hyrum Smith. Elder Gowans also recorded the Army song as sung by the graduates at the end of their ceremony:

After the graduation, we dashed over to Sister Amanda Tenney's to  mow her lawn for her. It took about 45 minutes, but the nice thing was that it rained a little while mowing, which really helped cool Elder Gowans off. After cleaning up, we dashed to the Towns' house to give Brother and Sister Towns a predeployment briefing. He is in the Navy and will be a submarine rider for about 4 months or so. We have a couple of those in our Stake. They are not assigned to the submarine crew, rather they receive orders to accompany the crew and analyze communications that are intercepted. While there, Brother Towns asked Elder Gowans to give him a blessing, which he happily did. 

From there we dashed again to Brother Wood's home. He is a single dad and works as an active duty reservist with the Marines. He has a cute little 2 year old daughter named Olivia. We have had a wonderful day!
