We had a fabulous experience in listening to General conference. We got a hotspot and watched the conference on post in the chapel we usually use. It is amazing to see the devotion of some of our soldiers and for them to be in uniform is quite humbling. I took this picture during the intermediate hymn. An American flag is in the picture and illustrates what we do. You will notice to the right of the picture is a table set up for the service for the catholic group. Those emblems of their religion did not detract for our services. In between sessions we provided lunch.
Every morning when we are driving to seminary we have the opportunity to see the sunrise. It is amazing. Here is what we see. We are teaching the Old Testament and are learning a lot. Right now we are starting on Exodus. It is amazing to learn the Doctrine along with the boys we are teaching.
One of the things we do is make sure the incoming post knows that a soldier is coming. In going through some records we found a soldier that had gone to his next assignment. We contacted him to make sure where he was and he said he had not been able to find the church. We contacted our counterpart, they contacted him and he was at church that week. That makes us feel like what we are doing is right.
Each week we meet with the Elders and Sisters for district meeting. There are some fabulous young people here. Elder Chinas, Elder Garcia, Elder Willets, (an Idaho boy), and Elder Jeffrey. The sisters are Sister Mizell, and Sister Brown. I will post a picture of the other 2 Elders when I get one. They are the zone leaders and were meeting with a different zone.
All is well. We continue to meet with military families on and off post and try to serve in any way we can.
