I heard from Brandon yesterday! He's doing well. He's been spending the past two weeks attending a few classes, seeing the desert, enduring lots of sand and preparing to head into Iraq to begin their missions.
While on a "tour" of the desert, he noticed small holes here and there. Then, a lizard, about two and a half feet long, poked his head out, skittered across the desert and ducked into another hole. Crazy, huh? He also saw a camel rolling around in the sand, another one got spooked and started booking it across the sand. He saw a sand tornado, too. If you haven't checked it out yet, you should take a look at the sandstorm videos at the bottom of the blog. They're pretty wild...and common over there.
His access to phone and internet is pretty limited right now, so as I hear more, I will update the blog. Please, keep praying for the safety of Brandon and the other soldiers and that they would be able to focus on their missions ahead of them.

Thanks be to God for the phone call! I am so grateful for you to touch base with your husband after so long. It is amazing what a heart connection can do for the one who grows weary waiting...
Keep the calls coming Brandon!
We look forward to more updates on Camels, Lizards and the like.
I am also grateful knowing that I know that I know that I know that our Saviour walks with
Sgt. Anderson each step he takes...no matter how hot, cold, sunny, dark, sandy or chaotic things might be.
It is a truth that we cling to deep down in the depths of our beings...that we never walk alone.
Thank you for keeping us posted Sarah...we love you!

I finally found the card with your blog address in a deep stack of papers on my desk and have been reading through your entries and those of your two buddies.
I'm guessing that you are probably in Iraq by now and want you to know you and your buddies are being prayed for in a mighty way for safety, health, and protection.
I pray for both you and Sarah to lean on Jesus for strenth to deal with all of the stresses you're facing.
Isn't it amazing how sand gets into everything? Have Sarah tell you about wave-jumping in Barbados and her experience with sand!
Love to you and Sarah,
Kim
