7.Journal Entry - "Church"

When the soldiers found an almost abondoned pagonda they set up camp and stayed there for a while. They made friends with the monks, well for the most part because they didnt necesarily speak english. None of the soldiers really seemed to care a whole lot about the monks except Kiowa, he was the one soldier that carried a New Testiment. However it was Dobbins who said he might "join up with" the monks after the war, which was weird because he wasnt "all that religious." We find out that as a boy he grew up in the church, and "in highschool [he] started to think how [he'd] like to be a minister." He goes on to tell us he wouldnt be smart enough, because you needed to be sharp and have brains. Although he doesnt want to be a minister in the end, he still wants to be nice and just be a decent person to those who deserve it.
