We had a great weekend! Bob called twice, first on Friday night and then again on the Fourth of July! He was using a calling card, $25 for 10 hours of talking. He thought it was quite a bargain! He is still working on the Internet connection and hopes that he will be able to Skype with us soon. He is it great spirits, working long hours, but becoming acclimated to Afghanistan. One funny story that he told was that he is the mail clerk for his group. He even had to attend a class to learn how to do this. When I asked how long it would take him to gather and distribute the mail, he said not long, there are only 4 people in his group!
Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers for Bob!
Very funny on the mail sorting!!! I wonder if they will increase the cost to deliver to Bob and the other three members of his group too!!!
ReplyDeleteBeing the "mail man" or "mail carrier" to keep it politically correct was always my favorite "job" in first grade when we were assigned the job of passing out papers. If Bob has the address of the other three people in his group, send those my way also and we will make his job a little more difficult by sending them all lots of mail! I'll enlist the help of other family members on this one if you can get me the addresses :)
ReplyDeleteI will see what I can do, Pam. Thanks for thinking about all of them!!!!
ReplyDeleteDan and I are having a rainy day, so plan on baking Bob a few goodies. So the day he gets this package he should love distributing the mail. By the way Linda we don't have Bob's snail mail address. Email me Trish
