Welp, folks, we are now entering Phase 2 of the Deployment. Zack left today for Twentynine Palms, in California, east of LA, and right above Mexico. Twentynine Palms is a HUGE area (932 square miles) owned by the government used for training and testing just about every weapon the military has (besides nukes of course). Zack will be staying in Camp Wilson which is a sub section of Twentynine Palms. They'll be training out in Mojave Viper and living in what looks like a HUGE campbell's soup container plopped on it's side. Unfortunately, there will be no cell phone service or internet access for the next 5 weeks that the marines are there. So you can pray for safety and protection for these boys while they are training their butts off in 100 degree weather!
In case you're interested, I am going to attach a link so you can see some training that Mojave Viper entails. Enjoy!

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
STILL I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
And because I don't have any recent photos to post I'll just post an old one, and take this opportunity to say I REALLY hope that this fall is a colorful one because the rain this spring sure has been more than PLENTIFUL!!
