Received my first letter from Jon today. I now have his address and I'm going to scan the instructions so that I can send it to you in pdf format. Just drop me an email to request it, or leave a comment here.
Now to the other stuff. The letter I got from Jon was mostly from reception. I think the last he wrote was on Sunday night. It said the training was to start on Tuesday. I imagine he's right in the thick of all of the unpleasant stuff. Just from reception I got the impression that he's thoroughly exhausted, stressed, and on edge.
He said that he understands that he can't avoid getting yelled at, but he can at least take his licks knowing that he's trying his best.
He also said that he supposedly has the cream of the crop for drill sergeants. They're expert marksmen and he should be one too by the time he leaves.
I'm so proud of him. :) Cannot wait to hear his voice. Hopefully they'll let him call on Sunday. <3

Everyone, please remind Jon that he has what the Army is looking for. I am sure that he will progress just like they want and will become more confident in himself. Prayers for strength, please. Can't wait to send my letters. Have written about 17 pages of nonsense. Hope he sees the humor. I love you, Jon and Brie. You are amazing.
Words of encouragement for Brie - not my own - but some that have helped me.
I've had many tears and sorrows
I've had questions for tomorrow
There've been times I didn't know right from wrong
But in every situation
God gave blessed consolation
That trials only come to make me strong
I've been a lot of places
And I've seen so many faces
But there've been times I've felt so all alone
But in that lonely hour
In that precious, lonely hour
Jesus let me know I was His own
So I thank God for the mountains
And I thank Him for the vallyes
I thank Him for the storms He's brought me through
Cause if I never had a problem
I wouldn't know that He could solve them
I wouldn't know what fait in His Word could do
Through It all
Through it all
I've learned to trust in Jesus
I've learned to trust in God
Through it all
Through it all
I've learned to depend upon His Word
