Machine Guns & The Mountains of N.C.


Dear Friends,

My week of training on machine guns is done, and I can tell you that all others guns now seem kinda wimpy. It was really hot out on the firing range, but the shooting was still pretty sweet. What else? I'm currently on my 4-day holiday weekend, and I just got back from a retreat with my Bible Study in the mountains of Western North Carolina. The trails were steep, the air was clear, and the weather was beautiful. The men and women there at the retreat were from all over the U.S. ranging from Ft. Bliss, TX to Ft. Lewis, WA. They all were fired up to share what God is doing in the military through their ministries. You should be encouraged to know that there are many Christians reaching soldiers in the military. God is moving.

Anyway, this next week will be pretty short. I have another PT test, more powerpoint classes, a written exam, and a combatives (hand-to-hand fighting) certification to go through. I welcome a week out of the field because it will be the final time we have such classes for 3 weeks. Just pray that I can continue to reach the guys in my platoon with their questions and needs. I've found some good friends and guys who seem eager to learn more about Jesus. Bye!
