December 28, 2004

We haven't heard from Adam since Christmas Day and he was pretty down. Please keep praying! All our troops are really busy.

I had the priviledge to go to visitation tonight for CPL Ian Stewart. He was killed fighting for our freedom in Fallujah, Iraq on December 12, 2004. He was formerly of Princeville and funeral services will be held tomorrow in Princeville. Ian had a strong testimony for the Lord and his parents are assured of his presence in heaven. It indeed was my priviledge to meet his parents as they encouraged me! Just pray for his parents and family now, tomorrow and in the days to come.

My nephews are stable and making connections with their families. Please just keep praying.

Please pray right now:
1. For the members of C Company wounded and their families. Please pray for comfort and rest for all. Pray for wisdom of the doctors caring for them.
2. For the family of CPL Stewart - for comfort and assurance - for a touch from God's calming hand during the days, weeks and years to come.
3. For Adam and the rest of our troops in Iraq - to be encouraged - to be diligent and alert in the missions assigned to them - for protection from the enemy. Please pray for their minds - for protection from damaging images or thoughts.
4. For Gunny Sergeant Howard as he helps families in C Company and the Stewart family. For Gunny's family as he is away a lot right now.

Thank you for praying. We appreciate your care and concern.

In Christ's love and protection,
Jill
