A Lil Update...

Hey, everybody. I just got off the phone with Josh. He's doing well. They've been on a lot of missions lately (one of which was supposed to be a five hour mission but turned into a twenty four hour mission with no sleep). He has gotten several care packages in the mail, and he really appreciates them all. If you want to send him care packages, then some good ideas are calling cards, snack foods, and things like that. He also give candy out to the little kids there (mind you, he has a ton from when I sent him care packages earlier this month, so maybe wait a little bit on sending more). He has to re-take his PT test later this month because the running part wasn't marked out correctly, so still keep that in your prayers. He's also still working on switching from Reserves to Active duty while he's over there, but he's having trouble finding the right people to talk to. Please pray that he's able to get that process going soon so it can be all taken care of by the time he gets home. He still won't tell me exactly when his r&r is scheduled, and I know that I won't be able to get the dates out of him any time soon... which means don't expect me to pass that information along (can't share what I don't know). Overall, he is doing well and is tired. He said it's still over one hundred degrees there each day, but the rainy season is coming soon (which means slightly cooler temperatures and lots of mud to play in -- his words, not mine). Keep him in your prayers, and I'll keep you updated as I can.

Waiting for him,
Ariel
