Well, today is June 9th, and this morning, Brandon graduated from WLC! The heat and humidity were tough this past week and really affected the soldiers. Your prayers for their health and safety during this training period are greatly appreciated as they still have another two months to endure of it. Most of the guys are just looking forward to Iraq where the heat is dry. Although the temperature is hot over there, the lack of humidity makes it bearable.
He is now supposed to be hooking up with the main body of his unit and heading out to the field to live in tents for the next few weeks for training, so you may not see any updates on him during that period, as I will likely not be hearing from him. He's been looking forward to seeing his buddy, Bryce Harcey, who was mobilized with the main body. The two of them motivate each other. We are SO thankful that they will be in the same platoon while in Iraq. Once again, thank you so much for your prayers and comments.

Hallelujah and Praise the Lord for your graduation from WLC! Way to go Brandon!
As I was sitting through the Camb. Christian School Graduation today, you were probably going through your graduation as well. Did they have any kind of ceremony?
I am so thankful that the rest of the main body of soldiers has now arrived at Camp Shelby and that you have been able to join up with them...especially your friend, Bryce Harcey. We thank God over and over again that He had it planned before the foundation of the world that you two young soldiers should walk this walk together. Gods ways are higher than our ways and I am grateful!
I have stepped up the prayers regarding the heat...how are you since last week?
Be safe as you venture out on the next phase of training.....sleep well!
love always,
Mom
