SamisMom Ship 09 Div 265 :o) - I'm surprised you received mail today....considering they only get to mail letters on Sundays. I would think the soonest anyone could get one, would be on a Tuesday. Was it mailed last week Sunday? Just wondering. I haven't received one, yet either. But, my son didn't write one last week. I'm really hoping and praying he wrote one this week.

Hi MomLovesRyan - the first letter wasn't dated but the second one was dated June 2. So I'm going to guess they didn't go out rigth away. They are 2 weeks old!! It was so good though to hear from her. Hopefully she's received at least some of the many letters I've sent. She'll probably get them all at once too. LOL I'm praying for you to get letters RIGHT AWAY!! :o)

Are other receiving letters? I missed his call last week and wondering how he is doing. So glad this is almost half way over. I am keeping my phone charged and on me at all times. Hoping for a letter soon.
