Liisa has posted word of your school supply drive. I know the children will really be pleased. I’ve heard many of the children will break a pencil in 2 to share it with a family member or friend. We just don’t realize how blessed we are here.

In the early Christian church the Bible was chained to the pulpit and only the priests could read and interpret scripture. The Guggenheim press helped to bring the Word to the people. It will take time to change the culture and you and the other members of he armed services are making a huge difference in the lives of the next generation of Afghanistan.

Thank you.

Take care – Dorie

Once again I enjoy all your writings. I just can’t imagine what all you are doing.
We did have the family barbque chicken on the 4th. Uncle Blair & Uncle Clark did a good job with the 40 halves. We only had 43 this year which is less then the other years but that is how it goes and we look forward to you and Liisa being there next year.
We are finally getting some warm weather without rain. I know you have it a lot hotter there. So we won’t complain.
You take care and we sure thank all of you for what you are doing. Love Aunt Carole

Faith is the key to getting through the day. Even when we question it. Keep your spirits up and your head down sir.
