Calls to Kelly

Dave was able to call Kelly both Monday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon. A satellite phone has been installed at their camp, but the line to use that phone is always very long, and Dave is really busy. In fact, he'd had no sleep in between the two calls.

There's no real news to report, except that Dave is OK and doesn't want us to send any more clothes. Regulations about what they can wear ( including underwear) are really strict. Much of what he has received in care packages either does not fall within guidelines or is too tight.

Dave is longing for home, for sleep, for loved ones, for healthy food, and for being able to cook again. It's a huge boost to his spirits to know that Kelly is in North Carolina making a home for them, and will be there when he returns. Bless you, Kelly!

For those of you sending occasional care packages, canned fruit would be a great addition.

The best thing we can do for Dave, in addition to constant prayer, is to write letters telling of day-to-day things. Our ordinary activities are what he'd like to hear about, even if they seem boring to us. If you don't like to write letters, ask me about Motomail. It's fast & easy, almost like email!
