Hi Gang, Here are two typical missionary pictures from our district activity day. Transfers are this coming week, one of the Elders is going south and our district gets a greeney to train. It seems like someone is always leaving and someone is coming, both in the military and missionaries. You get use to the constant change of people. The young couple with the twins is leaving tomorrow for Fort Huachuca, Az. We have grown close to them, I was able to give the little girl another blessing when she went back to the hospital this past week. It continues to amaze us how things work out. We were up taking dinner to a family whose son has leukemia when we got a call from the couple. They were in the process of moving when the little girl twin starting getting jaunticed again. They took her to the hospital and called us about blessing her. Now this is a part member, inactive couple who lost their first child less than a year ago. It is interesting to see how they responded to this problem by going to the church first. We were greatful of course for the opportunity and the little girl is doing fine now. The deployed husbands of our spouses and beginning to come home now for R & R. We met our first one today at church. He was in the heat of things in Afghanistan less than 3 days ago. It is fun to watch the family cling to them, they are home for 18 days and then go back to the zone as they call it. These families are just great, they live with so much day to day stress and just keep going. We are humbled by it all. The weather is beginning to break, yesterday was the warmest 25th of April since 1916, at 82 degrees. We have lived through several record breaking days so far on our mission. We have a good group of YSA now who are all active and come to everything. Today a new female soldier from SLC showed up at church which was great for moral also. We love the work and feel so thankful to be here at this time and in this place and to have the experiences we have daily. We miss you all and pray for you. Mom and Dad
