I just want to say hi to my family and friends. We're safe in Afghanistan. The food is good. I can't wait to come back home. It's weird, you don't see any beaches. It's what I really like to do — go to the beach, go surfing. It's weird being in a land with no ocean. To my family, keep sending the mail.
