Hello from the Homefront!
Our Chaplain called this week to say that training is going well. His squadron has attended many briefings (informational lectures) and received two more bags of gear.
He is staying in barracks with 20 other airmen, eating high calorie mystery meat, and getting very little sleep. Is anyone surprised? This first week has been an adjustment, but J is beginning to find ways he can minister to this group. Many are unable to attend weekend services because of the schedule rotations. He is planning to offer devos (devotions) early in the mornings for those who want to attend.
Time for Internet access has been limited. We've tried to set up webcam calls for him to talk to the kids but it's been nothing but trouble. Our home webcam was damaged in our move and his Internet opportunities have been scarce. Hopefully we will have a new webcam before he travels again. We should buy stock in Best Buy while its down.
On the Homefront , this first week has been challenging. We've battled the flu, overcrowded schedules, and hormones. (With four girls, how can you avoid it?) We have a great support network. Thank you to everyone who has been praying, emailing and calling. We are managing, but be prepared for that phone call! We've got your number!
