I couldn't stalk the mailman today because I had to be at work at 7 a.m. , but when I got home there was a notice from the post office saying I had a letter at the post office that had .64 postage due from zip code 60088-3515, so I know it's from my SR. I can't imagine what he sent that would have postage due unless he sent back all those questionnaires I've been sending him!! Can't wait until Monday to go get it from the post office. I will be there at 8 a.m.!!

I'm assuming that our div has not made any other phone calls since their 3 week one? I haven't read where anyone has said they received one. Hope it's not because they are struggling. If they are struggling, my son has not said or even hinted. Everything he's said has been very positive.

Still no call home :( It seems like sooo long since we got to talk to our SRs! I think it's been 19 days since we heard their voices. Jana, be sure to let us know all the good stuff Anthony had to say in that extra big letter! :)
I sent a letter to Alex on Friday asking him to please keep me as up to date as he can on how things are going, since we don't have much time left. I still have not received any mail on another day besides the normal mail day. It seems odd that they can write on two extra days but yet it seems 279 is still only mailing on Monday after they get their standard Sunday writing.

I have been praying constantly for our recruits and the entire 279. I think they will do fine, it really sounds like they are coming together as a division, especially since they earned 2 flags last week!

That's Good News. I will keep them on the prayer list for them to finish STRONG AND AS A TEAM.

All of them have been in my prayers also. I know mine is going to really enjoy Captain's Cup. He thrives on competition. I think it's great that they give them that outlet. Just hope he doesn't overdo it.

Their captain's cup will be this Saturday on the 20th. It is the last Saturday before PIR. They go against another division in their PIR group, and since our division is co-ed, they'll compete against another co-ed division.
