Santa and I...Proving That Santa Is One Tough Guy Visiting Even IRock
Small Victories As An XO...Such As Finally Getting a Shipment Of Chairs In
Tyson and I...Tyson Has Become a Good Friend and a Person I Work With A LotDear Friends,
Last night was Christmas Eve. My commander, a couple other buddies, and I were gathered around a toasty fire enjoying cigars. Then suddenly we heard it...a distant sound of Christmas carols. The sound got louder and louder mixed with the roar of a Stryker's engine. Finally, we saw it...our Battalion Commander had brought a special Christmas mail shipment complete with Christmas music blaring and Santa Claus...( Santa had complete tactical gear including body armor, rifle, and full combat load). It was great. I told Santa that all I wanted for Christmas was to be home with loved ones...he said "Next year my friend." In the end, this holiday season has been especially great thanks to packages, letters, and videos from back in the states. Thank you to all who remembered me this winter. Your support is incredible
In other news, Bible Study continues to go well. There are several guys who I consider regulars now...SSG "V", SPC Hardin, and SPC Hudek. I have also developed a good relationship with one of the interpreters..."G" is what I call him. He has had quite a life, and I enjoy hearing his perspective on Jesus and Christianity. God has surrounded me with more support here than I expected. Christmas Day chapel service was also great today...learning about accepting the light that came into the world over 2000 years ago.
