Hi Gang, This picture is the Sisters we brought back from Fayetteville to Watertown on last Wednesdays transfers. The last three in the picture are now here in Watertown, a threesome they call it.  We drove two of the sisters from Watertown to Fayetteville, which is south east of Syracuse on Tuesday evening, stayed over night and drove three back with all their stuff on Wednesday.  It was a pretty packed car.  Two sisters have a lot of stuff trust me on that. They were thrilled to watch Legacy on the way back. The next trip to zone conference should be interesting with 3 sisters and two elders.  We'll see if the car can handle it.  The spouses of the deployed are really getting excited, some of the husbands start getting back on the 15 of Oct.  The Aviation Brigade is leaving for Iraq on the 22nd of Oct. We are looking forward to attending the homecoming and deployment ceremonies, they should be a real contrast.  We are still finding more do than we have time for. There is always someone to visit, which is good I guess.  The 2nd Brigade leaves for a 28 day training exercise this week to Ft. Polk, La. Things will be in a real state of flux for the rest of this month, with some 12,000 troops moving around The weather is getting cooler and you can feel the chill in the air. Conference was great we saw all the session.  They were broadcast at both wards but poorly attended.
