Hey Folks!
Just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten about you all.. This weekend was SUPER busy, filled with bridesmaid dresses, Nienke's birthday celebration, soccer games, picnics, lakes, barbeques, and one glorious phone call from my fartyman in CA.
Zack has been training out in the field off and on for the past few weeks. They have fake Iraqi cities out there, and have hired Arabic people who pretend to be Iraqi citizens. They have explosions and shootings and run security procedures over and over again. It's a pretty crazy time Zack says. One night Zack was sleeping in his Hum V and he said that it was SOOOO cold at night and he was shaking and shivering like all night, and the next day they found out it had only gone down to 80 degrees! But even though 80 degrees is hot to ANYONE, from the usual 115 degrees it feels FREEZING to the poor guys. This is a picture of the desert that Brian sent his fiance Jess.. Looks hot, ugh.
AND FOR THE BESTEST NEWS EVER: We found out that Zack has 3 days off in August, wooooooooooooo!!! So I'm going to drive down there and I'll get to see him which I am soooooo excited about! You all can be praying for us & that God will bless those few days we have together, and that we'll be focused on the Lord the whole time.
CIAO til next time.
