I got a call this morning that the girlfriends mom and husband have decided not to go, so that takes off a few names. They are kind enough to realize that Diego may want to be with us and his girl. My sister and her two boys are an iffy too, depends on the older son's basketball tryout schedule. She really wants to go, she is so proud of Diego, she lost her hubby last December and she feels the need to be with us and we are good on that. She is special to our children and we are close. I am glad it is a smaller group, I just feel that we are being so blessed with this and also with graduation a week before we thought. Yep, God is good all the time, All the time, God is good!!! We feel very, very blessed!!

Hello All! So excited just got off of the phone with my recruit. He is doing great!! he just need information for some paper work, I was able to ask question and he was able to answer unlike the "I made here call" He said that most of the recruits in his div are doing ok, just a lot of yelling and that no one has a name there, everyone is called "YOU". He said that they have not started getting any mail yet. Well that call really made my day!! Talk to you later...

Hello ladies,
We have not heard anything from our SR yet. We are so excited and can't wait to hear from him. Though they always say, "no news is good news." The time seeems to be going so slow, yet our friends son will do PIR on 10/15 already. He just left yesterday, really on 08/18 and it has gone by quite fast. Now that it is our turn the time seems to be going slow. It will be so exciting to hear from him and for him to tell us how "he" is doing. We are writing letters almost every day and sending them out. -

Hello ladies,
We have not heard anything from our SR either, and I get more excited every day we come closer to conclusion of the 3 weeks and I can't agree more it is going so slow. I know its to early for letter but still run to the mailbox every evening in hopes that I will have something in there. This web site is an awesome relief and I appreciate everyone's support. -

Good Morning Ladies, Hope everyone is hanging in there! I have not received any letters from our son, but hoping that we do very soon. Tuesday will be two full weeks, so you never know. It is said that we usually don't hear from them until after the thrid week, but you never know. Hoping this is a good day for you and remember, God is good, All the time. Blessings to you!

So true God IS good ALL the time...I don't know what I would do if not for reading the moms posts and my church family!! So MANY prayers are being sent for our SR..I am praying that they were able to receive their mail today!! When they do my son will be shocked as today I sent #8 to him! Just tried to send a little something every other day about home and those asking about him..Plus some cute Halloween cards for some laughs! He knew to watch the back of the envelopes for the order they would come so I hope they all have gotten to him!! I am looking forward to a call hopefully the end of the week if all goes good!! Till then many prayers and much patience!!
