Hi Gang, Things have been hopping up here in the north country. The one picture is of the change of command ceremony for the division. Two major generals, one outgoing and the other incoming exchanged the Division flag under the watch eye of the 3 star general from the Pentagon. It was beautiful day and all the Divison units were represented with the division band and all. It was very uplifting and formal. Off in the distance just below the tree line are six 155 gun placement used for the 21 gun salute. The other is of the baptism held Sunday evening in Carthage. Brother Milot a soldier, was able to baptize his new wife of 3 days and also his 8 year old daughter, they have been waiting for over a year for his divorce to become final. One of the missionaries has just been out a week, he if from Coleville, Ut. The other is from Hooper, Ut. We are still just doing out thing. Visiting, feeding and serving. The fall has been great, sunny cool and so far dry. A lot like last year, so I guess this is how fall is up here. We made our usual trip to Utica for transfers and took one of the sisters down and brought a new on back. Our main focus is getting the new BCT (brigade) soldiers and families ready to deploy in Oct. The Stake has called group leaders for the two battalions and issued their letters of calling for the Army to certify. They get back from block leave this week and then start the packing for deployment. There are 40+ members leaving with the BCT, 21 active from Carthage and 7 active from Watertown. You can imagine how this will effect the Wards. Another BCT deploys in Jan. That will be a problem for someone else. Our hearts go out to these families and the wards. We love the work and will miss all the people, but we are ready to see all of you. Keep the faith and hug the little one for us. Mom and Dad
