Hi Gang, This is some of our Institute class along with two area CES supervisors who were visiting for the evening.  One out going and the other incoming (suit).  The one kneeling with the teacher has already left for Iraq.  The teacher is from Wellesley Island and has been teaching Institute for over 14 years.  She travels 45 minutes one way each week to teach. She is great and really loves the soldiers.  She is an old Army nurse who still has lots of the spirit.  Her husband is a retired army oral surgeon, who is in private practice now. As usual we have been kept really busy, I guess this is the way things will be.  I started working in the pharmacy finally. It is very high tech with lots of support.  They fill over 800 rx's daily (8 hrs).  It didn't seem that bad. I just work two hours and spent the whole time checking filled orders.  It was kind of fun seeing HCTZ again.  This will be a good PR spot, because there are lots of people there.  Still lots of rumors about deployments this fall.  We will be losing at least 3 brigades (BCT) some 10,000 soldiers, but one BCT will return so that will help some. You can imagine the impact on the wards with the loss of priesthood, not to mention the emotion drain.  Mom and I are really getting into the visiting routine. We enjoy the conversion stories especially, they are simply amazing. These Army families are the greatest, so inspiring.  It is uplifting just being around them. We drove down to Utica again on Sat. and met with the Stake Pres., Mission Pres. and the Bishops we work with, to plan for all the loses.  It was a very concerned priesthood counsel.  They even let Mom speak, the church is so far ahead on things on things like this.  We feel overwhelmed at times but are throughly enjoying this experience.  We pray for you all and miss you.  Take care and be good.  Love Mom and Dad
