Every Sunday we serve dinner for single soldiers who live in barracks and do not have transportation. We were out shopping for food and I dropped my ID card. Someone saw it and told me. It would have been such a nightmare to have to replace it; plus security is high right now so I have to show it everywhere.
Patrick got the school he needed for promotion!! We went to a candlelight vigil for fallen soldiers and realized no one in our immediate family has been a victim of war!! Hope it stays that way.
Mindy attended Kerry Jr's graduation from Medical School and he made it home safe in his truck with trailer.
I felt prompted to call one of our less active members but no answer until the next morning when I caught her crying. She's having trouble with a pregnancy and her husband is deployed. She agreed to come to Relief Society with me! I thought I knew everything there was to know about 72hr kits, but learned to put it all in a small rolling garbage can which then fits neatly in the car. This is good since I forgot to bring my water purifier and hauling our cases of water on foot would be problematic.
Chaplain Brown was SO grateful that we were going to visit patients at the post hospital on the weekend. Another less active mother participated in our story for her children and agreed to a return visit. We had a good turnout of young single adults Wednesday night for a lesson on faith. Of course, ice cream helped which is still available and still fairly affordable. We celebrated Elder Baum's 72nd birthday and he lived through it. We had another reactivation today which means God is blessing our efforts to encourage people to make and keep covenants.
It occurred to me today that light mindedness is the opposite of reverence.
