So happy for you. We got letters on Thursday, so happy to hear from our son also. I am so glad he is getting to hear the word. I hope my son is doing the same. There is nothing that can give you more peace than God's love. So sorry to hear his is stressing about the group getting smaller but sounds like he is doing really good on all his tests and drills. My son doesn't say much about what is going on there, only ask about what is going on back home. I will be praying for your son as well as my own, they will be ok. Sure do miss him though. I was really looking forward to a call this week but haven't gotten one. I guess no news is good news.

My son also attends church and when I received his letter on Thursday he also said that "it took a load off his shoulders". I find great comfort in hearing that he has an outlet. I also did not receive a call and it is hard not knowing how he is or what is going on. I now find myself looking forward to Thursdays in hope of a letter. Prayers for all our recruits and also for us Mom's missing our son's (and daughter's).
