We now have two new military senior missionaries that have just arrived. Pictured below are Elder and Sister Moore from Stafford Virginia. What a small world because they know the Kitchen family very well and could not believe that my daughter Sara is married to Mike Kitchen.
Our first fun activity together was going to Balboa Park and hearing the organ and singing for the 100 years of Broadway concert. I have been looking forward to this all summer and it was great. Elder Hodges and Elder Moore had to leave during intermission to administer a blessing to one of our recruits who was in Balboa hospital, but they made it back for the finale.
They performed songs from different musicals including, Oklahoma, Music Man, Phantom of the Opera and many more!
Each graduation one Marine is picked to be his platoon's honor man. This signifies that he is the best in his platoon. This week we had Joshua Knight, who was baptized here at MCRD, as the honor man!
We felt like proud parents. We also have two more coming up next week at Kilo Company's graduation. It really is an honor and General Bierman commented to us one week that these are the kind of men he loves to have join the ranks of Marines.
Just an aside, the young man behind Joshua is also part of our group and will be going on to recon school. The training is so tough, few make it though, but we are confident and know prayers help!
We are so blessed to serve here and as the months slip by, we get busier and busier!
