I love having updates!!

Hey Family and Friends,
I received another phone call this morning from Isaac. They have been being trained to the point of exhaustion. To give an example of how crazy the training is, they went to bed at 7pm, woke up at 1am and were not released from training until 6pm!! Bless his heart, but he is still soo positive, I can't help but smile when he tells me about his experiences. He said the weather is still in the 120's and the dust has been blowing. Part of their training is in using their weapons.... he said when they were at the firing range, there were Scorpions and Camel spiders everywhere... that would be enough to make me wanna come home :( Due to the mass ammounts of training and classes, he wasn't able to make it to Church, but I shared our Sunday school lesson and a few Scriptures with him. He said he has really felt the Spirit very stronglly lately and he hopes that when he gets settled in Iraq, that they too will have Church services. They are leaving for Iraq now on Wednesday, not Tuesday. I know that all our thoughts and prayers are helping him stay positive :) Until next time, we love you guys and hope everyone is doing great!!
