Since Tyler's first letter, I have received a few more, and he is doing really well! He has adjusted very well and is doing really good physically. He said that there are "those guys" in his platoon that can be lazy and end up making them all look bad. But then he later said that he's hoping they will all pull together and work through those things. On Wednesday he learned about IED's (Improvised Explosive Devices) and how to look for them. And they blew up 2 claymore mines. He also has the opportunity to be certified Level 1 combative, which he is very excited about. He has gotten very speedy in eating the MRE's, and he actually likes them now! He also got his gun which you all know, REALLY made him happy! (: I just praise God that he's doing well! Living in this technologically advanced world makes being restricted to letter writing only extremely difficult. But you know, it's so personal and exciting! I wouldn't have it any other way right now. He's growing and learning and that's what's important. Continue to keep him in your prayers! And DO write. That's what's going to get him through is the encouragement from those who love him most. Love you all!

I'm sure he is doing a great job! A gun? I can see him now. That's awesome that he's hoping everyone will "pull together" for a good cause. Tyler's pretty ambitious in the areas he's interested in so I know he'll go far. I love you both to pieces!
Thanks Brittany! I get so excited when I hear another update! I'm so glad he's doing good! He has many prayers being lifted on his behalf! And you are so right, it's not like you can ask a question and get an immediate reply! You have to rely on snail mail! But, oh when that letter comes in!!!! Oh, happy day!!! Still praying! I love you both!!!
