November 18, 2004

We had a call from Adam about 5 am this morning! It was so great just to hear his voice. We last talked to him 5 weeks ago. He could tell us that he is still in Fallujah. He said that there is still alot of activity, but it is much better than it was. He sounded good and said that he is well. All communication is down in Fallujah of course, but they had a few phones that they were passing around so that the troops could call home.
We are so thankful for technology that allows communication from across the world. The connection was great with no delays, so our conversation really flowed. He talked most of the time and that was encouraging to us. He had heard about the TV interview that Rod had done. (Rod has put it on DVD and we'll be mailing a copy to him. He can watch it when he gets back on base.) Adam is very disturbed about the media coverage of the Fallujah activity. We assured him of our support of all the troops. He has no idea when he may be back on base.

Thank you all so much for praying. Please pray right now -
1. For safety and assurance for each of our troops. For good decision making in rapidly changing circumstances.
2. For each Marine involved in this media problem. For assurance for the ones involved and their families.
3. Thank God for technology and the ability to communicate.

We are thankful for each one of you.

In Christ's love and protection,
Jill
