The LDS Church is aware of it's Military members

Josh is away at COT (Commissioned Officer Training) in Alabama and on April 1st I received a letter from A retired General, Elder Bruce A. Carlson.  The letter stated that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints wanted to report that Josh was attending Church services while he has been at Maxwell Air Force Base. He wrote about how in these troubling times, it is encouraging to see members step forward to help preserve our freedom and our way of life.  He expressed gratitude for our sacrifices and service.  He outlayed the ways that Josh can find church meeting where he is stationed and if he is deployed.  There is a Military Relations Division PST-Military@ldschurch.org of the Church to assist family members and service members.  At the end of the letter it stated, "We know that the Lord is mindful of you and Josh and the challenges you will face together as he valiantly serves in the military."  I feel humbled by this letter. Sometimes I just get the narrow vision that this experience is mine alone and I forget that we belong to a global church and a loving Heavenly Father.
