I found out that
there was going to be a parachute jump last Monday, Pday. They don't jump on
Monday's very often so it was a good chance to see one. The Elders had
really been wanting to see one. One set of Elders works entirely with Military
Families/Singles and the other set are near by and sometimes work with military
families. So we told them if they wanted to see a jump we would take
them. They were so excited. So we took them. It was about
a 40 minute drive so Keith talked about jumping all the way out there.
Then we saw two different jumps. They go by rather quickly and the sun
was pretty bright so I really couldn't see if my camera was getting anything or
not. But luckily I got some good shots. The Elders so were happy and later
one even made an analogy about it. We were impressed. The missionaries (Elders and Sisters) are so great and so diligent in the Lord's service. It is a pleasure for us to work closely with them. They strengthen us and they are fun to work with.
Wecontinue to work with various families hoping to strengthen them in the gospel as they also work hard to serve our country. We are teaching two classes right now with our strengthening marriage lessons, one for couples and one for another set of sisters whose husbands have just deployed. This morning one sister asked if she could bring any nonmember friends..."of course" we said. We hope they will come. Here's a couple more pictures of the jumps we saw.
It brought back a lot of memories for Keith. He did love parachutes jumps when he got to do them... many years ago : )
