Adventures and seeds planted..

Elder Hodges and I decided one day we should go down to the beach to catch the sunset.  When we first got there it was about an hour before sunset so we walked.  So many people go to the beach here. They surf, ride bikes, skateboards, walk and they even have places on the beach for groups to build bonfires once the sun goes down.

The weather was in the 70s with a wonderful breeze.

The General on MCRD invited all of the volunteers on the base to a luncheon at the BayView Restaurant.  We, along with the other members who hold services on Sunday were all invited. I was also invited thru the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society.

 This picture shows Brother and Sister Bullick who are such an important part of the MCRD branch!
Love them!

The gal talking to Elder Hodges is Isabel.  She works with the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society and I love her!  She is so positive and caring for all who volunteer and also those marines that come in for financial help.

I first met this woman in December.  I was running around the base looking for the conference room.  I went into the base museum and she was at the information desk. We got to talk and she asked about my tag.  I told her a little about the church and she said she wanted to learn more.  I told her we have church on base, but she might want to go closer to home.  She gave me her address and phone number and I gave them to Elder Myler who helped us that day with the family day reception.

So here it is five months later and she found me at the volunteer luncheon and was so excited to tell me she has been taking the lessons with the missionaries and wants to come and attend church with us on the base!!  I was so surprised and excited!  So many times, we talk about the gospel with people, they ask questions, we plant seeds and never know the results.  I felt so blessed to know that my small act helped her to find the opportunity to learn more.
We should never be afraid to talk to others!  I believe we will be led to those who are seeking!
