Day 28

We are in Iraq at new housing and things are tough. It's hard to get around in our living space and we're far away from the chow hall and the PX so we have to ride the bus. A good part of the day is taken up riding the bus back and forth. I'll make it though. At some point we'll start doing missions, but I don't know when. It's getting hotter, today it was in the 90's and the sun is always out. Yesterday we picked up a bunch of rounds for the mortars and broke them down to put them in the truck. At some point we will go on missions, But I'm not sure if we'll use our own truck or what the hell is going on. We've been here over a week and it might be another week before we start going on missions. Church service is tomorrow morning, and I have been reading some of the bible. Nothing much to report except that tight living quarters are going to lead to confrontation. I got another E-mail from Amy Waite, my godmother. She said that her son hunter is growing up but they're having some trouble with him because he's dislexic. But he seems bright enough and they're working with him Thompson talks on the phone with his wife every day and has another son on the way. I can't believe they sent us here for more than a year, this is going to get so old!
