Our rct sent a nice long letter to her older sis today. Not much news from her end, she was mostly asking for family news. She's hanging in there & like us, is counting down the days to PIR. Said to send her contacts and makeup ASAP :-)
ONLY 22 days to PIR!!!!!
Praying for positive attitudes, teamwork, physical/emotional/spiritual strength for the entire division :-)
Gals, I'm SO glad we've formed this group! I'm pretty sure us nine-one-oh ladies are wanting, hoping and PRAYING for a phone call soon. Like many of you, I would LOVE to hear that our divison is finally getting it together! I know it WILL happen (or at least I'm trying to think positively). I got 1 phone call a couple of weeks ago that was about 4 minutes. My hubby said Christmas was HARD and they are really working to get their act together.
Hang in there ladies!!! We CAN do this!

Hi Tricia & Deb. So glad to be in this group - thanks Tricia!
I've had 4 letters from my daughter and only one, 1 min phone call last Tues nite. She started by saying "Boot camp is GREAT and my RDC is GREAT!" I asked if he was standing right beside her? "uh huh" OK She quickly asked what her blood type was - I couldn't remember and we were out of town so I asked if she could call back, she wasn't sure, probably the next day. DIdn't hear from her again, but THANK YOU to her RDC for letting me hear her voice for that short time!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Entire family in a good mood for our family get together over New Year's.
In her last letter, she too mentinoned Chirstmas was going to be hard, the very childish behaviors and was hoping the div would get it together. They had a test before Christmas, she paseed but 10 others didn't pass. A few girls have been injured & ASMOED (sp?).
She's been happy about being able to go to gospel church, read the Bible and pray together at night. The guys led them in the Lord's prayer and also prayed for the entire div before a test.
Can't wait to see pictures of them performing the 14th & 21st.
Counting down the days until we leave for Chicago!!!
Keep the faith gals :-)
