We took a trip to Carlsbad this week to see the flower fields. They opened March 1st and so some fields are not fully grown yet, but it was gorgeous!
We were invited to tour the Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier after graduation this week. It is huge!
We were very lucky to be able to tour with an oral surgeon in the Navy who is a member of the church. Several other senior missionaries went also.
When we got up to the flight deck, Brother Mack told Jim to take over and explain about what happens with the jets, etc. because he has landed on aircraft carriers many times. Brother Mack also told us about being there with all the noise and said that even with double hearing protection, the noise just vibrates your whole body. He told some stories about feeling the heat from the after burners even when he was far away on another deck.
Every time we learn more about the military and all the things they have to do, I am so grateful for the sacrifices they make for our freedoms.
We are grateful to help in some small way with the new recruits and marines as they train and prepare for their service to our country.
We testify that the Lord loves all his children and desires all to live in such a way that they will return to live with Him. We love our mission!!
