Kelly just called from the Phoenix airport. She's on her way from California back to North Carolina, and wanted to let us know that she received a very brief phone call from Dave at 3:00 this morning.
Apparently there's been some alarming news coverage of his Area of Operations, and the troops were given the opportunity to make a 5-minute phone call to assure loved ones that they're OK.
He's in a very remote location, so we don't know the logistics of how the phone calls were arranged. We're just extremely grateful to receive some news! Kelly said there was a lot of noise in the background, probably all the other guys standing in line for their turn to use the phone.
Dave said to please keep sending letters and motomails, because that's what keeps him going. The mail is slow, arrives infrequently in large batches, and is appreciated more than we can imagine.
(He also said he is "stinky and gross," and could we please send t-shirts, underwear, and wet wipes.)

So wonderful to hear that he's doing okay! The ReeveManda package went in the mail a few days ago, I hope the chocolate's not all hot and melty when he gets it!
Continuing to pray,
Manda
