Update From the Middle Eastern Front

Caleb made the move over the last 2 weeks to the tent city. He is now living in a tent with about 20 other soldiers. They have electricity and AC, but have to stand in line for internet access. So, this makes our communication more limited. After standing in line, Caleb only has 30 minutes on the computer, and if he wants more time, he has to stand in line again!! So, needless to say, we don't hear from him as often as before! He said the days are getting much hotter and they have been dealing with sand storms lately. The sand is very fine, like powder, in Iraq, so much time is spent keeping weapons and personal items clean!

Thankfully, hostilities have been less over the last couple of weeks and we are grateful for that!

Keep praying for Caleb's safety, strength and emotional health while living in a war zone and being separated from family and friends. Your prayers and concern are a constant source of encouragement for Caleb and our family!

I'll report again soon, Proud Soldier Mom, Betsy
