December 16, 2004

We haven't heard from Adam since December 8, 2004. He is probably still in Fallujah. There were 8 Marines killed there this week and I know that was probably really hard for all the surrounding Marines. We did get an email picture from another Marine in Iraq that showed snow flakes! It is the cold season there. There is ice on the ground in the mornings. It can get down to 20 degrees at night.

I know that it is very hard for all our troops to be away from their families at the holidays. Please send a card if you haven't already. If you have, send another one. They just live for the mail.

Please pray right now for
1. Comfort during this time away from home. Warmth and protection from the weather.
2. The families that lost their sons this week. For comfort and encouragement.
3. Protection, wisdom and alertness despite conditions.
4. God's presence to be very real to each one.

We are thankful for you. Please keep praying and writing.

In Christ's love and protection,
Jill
