Call from Donnie / Address
Happy Easter! Anyone feel that shake? Wow, a 7.2 out of Baja, CA...our cat wasn't too happy! Well, the good news from today is that Donnie called! He is at Camp Bastion right now, acclimating and training before going further into the desert. He was proud to say that he had lobster for dinner (what?!), and pineapple juice from Saudi Arabia earlier in the day. The mess hall (and that's my lingo people, I'm sure there's another name for it) is open 24 hours and has TVs, and a lot of American drinks with Farsi words. There's a lot of dust, as proof of the "100 days of wind" they are experiencing. He's still overwhelmed, and where he is hasn't really sunk in - but he's taking it one day at a time. He said he's reminded of where he is when he wakes up and sees the mountains all around him. He wasn't able to say when he was leaving the Camp, so I guess we will know once the phone calls stop. Thank you everyone again for all your support and prayers! The mailing address, for letters or care packages, is:

Thanks for the update, Heather. I'm glad he got to call. Sounds like he is doing pretty good. I love the pictures that Sandy posted of your good-byes. Very special! I hope the shaker didn't upset you too badly. I'm glad we don't have them here in GV, I don't like them!
