To Aryas, Rosalyn and Jeanette, I miss you all and love you dearly. May God continue to bless you as he has blessed me. There are so many blessings I've been reminded of since being away from Hawai'i. I've had a lot of interaction with Iraqi kids, and they have inspired me. When you see the kids, you see so much potential, and it makes the mission that much more important to me. I also want to say hi to my church, Ohana Baptist Church. Keep our troops in your prayers.
