Article about Patrick's Platoon
Hello! As the title suggests, this article is about Patrick's platoon and their recent relocation. Also, if you look closely at the picture, Patrick's ruck sack is right in the front!! He created a tube from paper and a left over "Animal" can to protect his posters in the move. Enjoy!!

Patrick's New Room
Patrick's address is the same as before except the FOB is now FOB Gamberi instead of FOB Fenty. Let me know if you need the address again.

Upgrades!
Patrick is having a really good week! Just this morning he told me that he got to
move to a bigger and better room with a better mattress. These are the pictures he sent me of his new
abode.
He also will be receiving a promotion to 1st Lieutenant
this week! Although this is an automatic
promotion (every LT receives it after 18-24 months in the Army), it is still an
exciting thing. I am very proud of him
and the work that he does every day.
John and I are doing well.
He has cut his first top tooth, giving him a grand total of three teeth! I can tell that it hurts him, but that doesn’t
stop my little ball of energy from playing.
It does keep him from getting a good night’s sleep, though. This mama is hoping that he will have a good
day of naps and a full night’s sleep soon!!

Not Much to Say...
Hello, everyone!
I am going to attempt to update the blog every Monday. However, some weeks I don't hear often enough from Patrick to give any real update. So please just bear with me as I get into the rhythm of weekly updates.
Patrick has been so busy! He has been completing routine missions, planning new missions, and inventorying all of their equipment--all the while his platoon is on call to go assist other platoons in a fire fight. Needless to say, he is only getting a few hours of sleep and is pretty tired by the time we talk.
Despite all of that, which would have me living in a perpetual state of bad attitude, Patrick is really enjoying himself. This is what he has trained for, and he is having a good time getting to do "the fun stuff."
He told me one of the last times we talked that he was able to get his room set up (after being in country for three weeks!). He loves his set up with his bags unpacked, a side lamp and TWO fans! He was especially happy about the fans, since it is regularly over 100 degrees. I'm hoping to have some pictures soon of his room.
His room is partitioned off in a big hut with plywood. So it would be great if you wanted to send Patrick things he could attach to his wall. Letters, pictures, and posters would all be great ideas. You may also want to send a few tacks if you have room. He has tape, but I'm not sure how well that would stick to the plywood.
Prayer Requests:
Thank you so much for your prayers for Patrick, John and me. With God's daily grace, we are all doing well. Please pray for Patrick to find a Christian friend that can be an encouragement and accountability partner.`
