Jared Called

Jared called last night at 1:00am. This time difference is tough for making phone calls! Speaking of time difference--he is 8 1/2 hours different. I have never heard of 1/2 hour time zones???? How weird is that???

Their vehicles and equipment have arrived and they were leaving today to move to a different base. He had no idea where or what kind of facilities they would have. (or when he could call again!)

The other day they had a "mud storm!" They were in a middle of a "sand storm," when it started raining! So it was raining "mud.!" YUK! What a mess!

A couple of things he has asked for is PSP games and movies and Nintendo DS games. They are bored and spend most time playing games--he said they can use ANY and ALL games--they pass them around and share. If you have either of these game systems and have games (or movies) that you no longer play--can you send to him?? He would truly appreciate it! He is also in need of baby wipes and cigarettes.

Also said he wants more mail! Moto mail is very easy to send on your computer (link at top by his address) and gets there fast. Please take a few minutes at least once a week and write to him!

That's all I can remember--if Dave remembers more I will post later. He is doing great and sounds fantastic. He likes it there and his spirits are great!
