Thank you so much Jacqui. We've heard from him many times since he left
and
earlier in the week they arrived "in country" (I don't want to broadcast
where he's at, but you can email and I'll fill you in on the details) and
he
sounds pretty upbeat. I am relieved that he sounds so good. Though he
did
tell my Mom that he's lost 15 pounds, I hope that he puts it back on as he
didn't have the weight to lose.

(It

really

the

on!

no

they

mail,
