Hello all,
We heard from John this evening. He sounded good. He says he's used to the drill sergeants yelling, says they are doing their jobs and he's just doing his. The weather in South Carolina has been cool, although it did rain all night the night they slept out in tents. Apparently, they have to march to this remote location with heavy survival packs on their backs and of course with their rifles. By the time they get there, their tent gear has been brought in. They have to set up and stay for a night or two, "surviving," in the middle of nowhere eating MREs. That's meals ready to eat. Yum! Speaking of food, you will all be happy to know that John has gained about 10 pounds, all muscle. His only semi-free day is Sunday. John spends most of the day at church. He's singing in the choir, which meets before the service for practice. Then, he goes to the service. After that is chow. Then back to church for more choir practice.
He called around 7:00pm and had about five minutes of phone time.
I am so thankful to hear from him and even more thankful that he is doing well.
Thanks so much for your prayers. It means so much!

I also hear from John tonight, and please don't forget to put a number "3" on the back of your letters to him. If there isn't a 3 there, he has to do push ups to get the mail. He said it's not a big deal if you forget, but if you do remember, I'm sure his arms will thank you.
