We attended our first Sunday on the base. It is hard to explain how it goes with all the recruits and leaders together in one large room. We heard that the mission president said it was organized chaos and now we can see why.
Today we had two baptisms before the Sacrament meeting. Then they were confirmed. The font consisted of a large rolling tub. Otherwise, I am really not sure how to explain it. Sister Jensen is hopefully sending us pictures.....
After sacrament they hold priesthood meeting in the front of the room (2 Elders, and several Priests were ordained); also in the back of the room, missionaries were teaching lessons, and the branch Presidency was conducting interviews.
Also, at the end any who wished blessings were given them. Elder Hodges even gave two recruits their blessings, but many more were given.
There is lots of paperwork to be done and the Jensens will continue to give us training this week.
After the meetings were finished we went to the hospital to give another recruit the sacrament.
Tonight we will drive up to Camp Pendleton for a fireside for the recruits who are there.
How wonderful it is to see these young recruits striving to live the gospel even in the most difficult weeks of their basic training.
I know Heavenly Father loves each of his children and is guiding us as we serve these wonderful young Marines.
