Happy Days are almost here!

On Saturday we learned that Seth was "off missions" meaning no more trips outside the wire. Today we learned that Eli has also been pulled "off missions." Eli had been scheduled for a trip on Monday, but he called Katy with the news today that he was done! Seth and Eli won't be leaving Al Asad Air Base until they board a plane bound for the U. S. of A! The only enemy they'll be fighting is boredom.....an enemy I'm comfortable with. When we got the news today about Eli, Jan and I were sitting in the den taking care of bills and school work. The relief was such a physical feeling that the tears flow easily and quickly. I can only imagine how it will feel to have them back on U.S. soil and then in our arms.

We prayed for Seth and Eli, and familes Sunday night in our small groups. It was both a praise and a request......so thankful this is almost over for them/ya'll. Leslie, Laura K's sister
