Lab

So lab today was an adventure.  The instructors like to put more then one bug ( bad computer chip in the circuit board) in at a time, which is OK most of the time.  It was not so good today.  One that they put in some how cause an totality different one the was not suppose to be there.  I was a point of real confusion for us all.  Then right after that we had to take our test on it.  It went OK, could have just a little bit better.  Now it is not to the anesthesia machine for the next two days.
We were also blessed with an awesome thunder storm just as school got out.  We got the all the lights and noise with it. Then to top of the day I spent over an hour chatting with my son's girlfriend on Facebook.  I am looking forward to meeting her this weekend.

Alma 46: 8 
 Thus we see how aquick the children of men do bforget the Lord their God, yea, how quick to do ciniquity, and to be led away by the evil one.

A day late

Yesterday was such a busy day.  First there was church in Burkburnett followed by a baptism.  A young airman that was coming to church with a class mate had all the lessons in two weeks.  He is a great young man.
Then we came back to the base for service here with the members of the Serviceman's group.  It was my first Sunday presiding over a meeting, part of my new calling.  It was so many things, hard for me to put all those feelings into words.  We then had a short break before the next meeting.  It required us to drive up to Lawton for a wonderful meeting of the priesthood.  Ice cream was served afterwards with a nice chose of toppings. :)
The night was ended with a call from a trucker friend of mine.  He have just saw a wreck and needed someone to talk to.  I really enjoy our talks.
Today was just another day in lab, and our hot instructor was back.

Saturday

For the most part Saturdays are a day of rest for me.  I started the day with a nice run around the base (about 7 miles).  It was a wonderful sunrise.
I then spent most of the day reading.  I also manged to get my laundry done and talk to my parents.  Mom is in Washington D.C. at a rally with Glen Beck.
The highlight of the day was Institute and dinner.  Elder and Sister Snowden prepared an inspiring lesson and a great meal for us serviceman.  There was even enough for me to bring home leftovers for tomorrow's dinner.
Tomorrow promise to be a good day, even if it will be long.  Three church meetings and a baptism, all at different locations.  Full days go by faster.

Begining

I was posting a blog on MySpace, but I thought I would move it to a real blog site.  I have been asked a few time to post more so I will give it a try.
For those that don't know I am in TX right now.  I am being trained on how to work on hospital equipment (BMET) for the the Missouri Air Nation Guard.  It is a 41 week school and I have 16 weeks to go.  The school is broken up in to 12 block with 17 academic days each.  Right now I am in block 8, with 7 day to go.  Part of each block is spent part in lecture and part in lab.  I really like the lab part.  My class is made of ten people, 6 Air Force and 4 Army.  The class has guard, reserve, and active duty servicemen, with both new recruits and prior service giving the class a interesting make up.  The average age is around 28, with a high of 45 and low of 19.  Oddly it worked out that the two ends are lab partners.  It is like working with one of my children.
