This is our bowling activity at Zone Conference. After meetings all morning we bowled in the afternoon and then drove back in time to go to Institute at 7:00. After institute we had two soldiers over for dinner. One was going to Hawaii and another, a young girl, was going to Iraq. She's part of the Army band for her unit. Dad's going to give her a blessing on Sunday before she goes. We also met a young woman this week that grew up in Park City. She was running a children's clothing store in Clayton, a small town on the St. Lawrence River. She moved there to get away from her ex-husband. We walked in the store and she said, "You found me." She and her husband grew up in the church, married in the temple, had three children. One day she walked in on him injecting crack cocaine. Her life fell apart and she no longer went to church. She told us her whole story and seemed ready for activity for herself and her children. We will be visiting her again. The Spirit was so strong that we knew that someone had been praying for her. Some of the stories break your heart. We hope to be a support to people like her.
