Jared called Friday afternoon and Sunday morning. He is doing fine. The phone connection went bad this morning and didn't get to talk more than a couple minutes. This was the last time he was going to be able to call for quite awhile. He's going on a long mission and will have no way to contact us. He will not be receiving letters or packages from us during this time either. Please keep sending them while he's gone so there's alot waiting when he gets back. Chef Boyardee Ravioli is his favorite gift right now.
On a previous mission Jared ended up at a US Army and Italian base. They actually hade an authentic Italian Pizzaria. The REAL THING supplied by Italy. An Army Sgt. bought them all a bunch of pizza and gave them the coldest gatorade they've had since they've been there. "We try to find a shady spot to put our gatorade so it's not boiling when you drink it. Those guys have to thaw theirs so they can drink it." He's trying to find another mission to go on to get back there.
According to the news this weekend the violence in Afghanistan is escalating again. The guys are doing an amazing job over there and being very successful. But it is currently the most dangerous hotspot in the world right now. So please keep Jared and the Marines of the 2/7 in your prayers. Your prayers and support are very much appreciated.
