I am hearing alot of talk about the 07/080 not coming together. Can someone fill me in on what they know about this. I have obviously missed something somewhere and would like to know what is going on. Thank you.

I've just heard that many are procrastinating on things such as ironing and folding clothes..I think they had to IT because for their whole holiday routine, which is about 6 hours, many of them only shined their shoes and wrote letters when they were also supposed to organize their things and get their other chores done..they are doing better on marching but still have yet to perfect it, which is understandable..it's just going to take some time..but they'll come together, I'm sure!

Good eve everyone. There are only 18 days until PIR.YEA I CAN NOT WAIT!! They better get there act together. They should be unified by now. Mine has not specified why the problems but said they argue about stupid stuff when they should stay quiet and do as they are told. I hope they can pull it together. Anyone heard about Battle Stations 21 yet?

I haven't had a letter from my SR in over a week. I really wonder how they are going to do if they can't get it together. The last letter I got said, I think that if my division can come together, we'll be fine but I am worried that it isn't going to happen. Is that going to delay PIR?

I have to say that I am SO jealous that you have gotten some great information on what is going on! Tell Cruz, I said thanks for writing you and keeping me informed. :)

No worries! :) I'll keep you updated on everything I know! I should be getting another letter tomorrow so I can give you more info then. I don't think PIR will be delayed for a whole division..if all of them still don't together I figure they may just end up pushing them through..not sure though..I really hope they are unified by now..because they REALLY SHOULD BE!! Battlestations can start as soon as a week from now and they NEED to WORK TOGETHER!!

Thank you, Viola! We are very grateful to you and your SR for keeping us up to date;) My SR doesn't write a lot when he writes and doesn't go into what is going on so I am very glad that yours does!:) I have been praying every day and believe, like MS Sailor says, God is in control and it will all work out and they will come together and do well. :)

Father, I pray for our SRs Division, I pray that you will bring unity amongst them, I pray that they will all do their part as they should and not slack in any area! I pray that they would come together in a way that no other Div has and that they will work together so well and that they not argue, or do anything that will cause them to be delayed! In Jesus Name, AMEN!

Agreeing with Bears mom on Viola's letters and the info that Cruz has been able to give you. It has done us all good. I have sent some of the questionnaires out to my son and am hoping to get something from him this week. Some are just better at communication then others and my SR is not one for words. I know that I am very thankful for Cruz and Viola for their willingness to share with the rest of us. Without the both of you, the rest of us would be pretty lost. Thanks for keeping us in the light.
God continue to look after our boys. Take control of every situation. Bring order to every situation. Remove every ounce of discord from among them. Restore unity and a willingness to lift one another's burdens. Give them a natural desire to aid one another in any challenge that each other may be facing and to put aside differences in order to work as one machine. Help them to see that they have one function, to become a global force for good; and let them not let anything stop them from achieving that task!
I pray in Jesus Name! AMEN!!!

So, my SR has NOT sent another letter since last week, I think. The last letter I received was on February 7th. No call, no other letter, nothing. Not even for his sister. I even sent him self addressed stamped envelopes. WTH is going on? UGH!!! Now, I don't even look at the mailman anymore.
