January 9, 2005

Adam called at about 1 am this morning. He is at Al Asad and would rather be in a busier place. Time just goes by too slow if he isn't really busy. He said that he is feeling OK. He wanted to know how his cousins were doing. Someone was timing phone calls, so we had a very limited time to talk.

Jeremy got home on Friday. He is doing well at home and coming along with his injuries. His parents are just glad to be home with their family. Jeremy will start follow up with the doctors in this area this week.

Jesse is coming along also. He has some procedures planned for this week. He is pretty up beat and tolerating uncomfortable procedures well. His Dad is planning to come home this week, but Mom is staying. She was able to get equipment to do some of her job from the bedside. Isn't technology great!

We are so thankful for your prayers, please keep on praying!

Please pray right now:
1. For quick healing of wounds and tolerance for procedures that must be done. Pray for no infections. Pray for emotional encouragement of the wounded.
2. For the medical teams caring for the wounded. For wisdom, insight and accurate care and decisions.
3. For parents of the wounded. For wisdom as decisions are being made. For encouragement from day to day. For building of relationships that are encouraging.
4. For all our soldiers and Marines in Iraq and other places. For protection. For alertness. For mental well-being - that God would erase harmful thoughts and memories. That the enemy would be clearly revealed.
5. For the elections in Iraq - for control of insurgents.

Thank you so much for praying. You are all an encouragement to us.

In Christ's love and protection,
Jill
