Spring, 2010. Where did the time go?

Well, here we are March 20, 2010. What happened to all the time? We are so Baddddddd! Time has a way of not waiting for anyone to play catch up.

We apologize to anyone that actually is looking at our blog, we cannot guarantee to keep up with the correct time or date of happenings in our lives as we finish up the last months of our missionary experience here in the ever-changing Oklahoma climate. We look forward to warm weather just the same as if it will really come before we take off for the wild, wild west (actually Utah).

Our basic training experiences were enriched this year with the addition of female soldiers being accepted here at Ft. Sill to reinstate a coed training program that was discontinued over 10 years ago. We had our first graduation of coeds last week and the local news was filled with pictures and stories about how the overall experience was accepted by other soldiers, drill instructors, and command leadership. Noteworthy were the honors participants who were women who were also included in the top 10% of the class, as well as high physical fitness award and rifle marksmanship.

Here is the video from last week of our social and one of the classes with the missionaries just getting done. We have had a huge influx of non-members which helps with our efforts to reach out to share the message of the gospel. It is not unusual to have more non-members in attendance than members as everyone brings in a battle buddy.



We had a baptism last Sunday, one of our female soldiers decided to enter the waters of baptism and many of the members and non-members showed their support by attending . She will continue to study with the missionaries for a few more weeks and then move on to her next post for her AIT (Individual Training). We try to keep in touch with them as they move into the next phase of their training and will notify the missionaries assigned to her next duty assignment to let them know more about her status.
