Kabul Military Branch

The Kabul Military Branch has around 64 members -- about 54 men and 10 women. We meet on Friday when most members are off work. Sacrament meeting is at 11:30 am and Sunday School/Priesthood/Relief Society meets at 12:30 pm. Everyone meets together for the 1st and 2nd hour blocks. The Elders, Relief Society, and Sunday School Teachers rotate the lesson.

The members here try to attend as often as possible. We have members here at Camp Eggers, at ISAF, US Embassy, North Kabul International Airport (NKIA), Camp Sullivan, and New Kabul Compound (NKC). We have around 27 members attend weekly, but attendance has dropped off to around 17 a week lately. If there is an explosion in the area the members are locked down and they meet in their respective compounds.

Monday we hold Familiy Home Evening -- we have a lesson, activity or a church movie. It gives us an oportunity to socialize with the members here.

You see members every day as you walk around the Camp. We are a pretty close-nit group.
