We have new photos!! Most of them are just kind of random but I really liked the one of the tents. It really shows what life is like for him there. I am still waiting for one of where he sleeps. I am sending Christmas decorations this week so maybe he will send one of the festivities.

He has received word that he will finish his stay where he is now. I asked if his address is going to change and he said he hasn't been told that it will so for now things stay the same. He keeps losing his phone so I don't many calls, but he keeps reassuring me that he is doing fine.

Huh?!

Caution camel crossing.

Looking out one of my tents

Well the phone call finally came. It has been way to long since I have had contact with him, but of course he told me not to worry he's fine. He has passed two more kidney stone's so there are two less of those to worry about. He is still at the French base and thinks he will still be there for a while. I asked if he thought he would go back to the other one for Thanksgiving and he doesn't think he will. I told him they had fed Jake lobster for Christmas so he maybe missing out on a great meal and he let me know they have lobster every Friday night where he is. He hasn't tasted it or the crab legs yet however.

He had been in a village and was waiting in whatever vehicle they were in and a little girl about 12 years old kept waving at him. At first he didn't think it was him she was waving at so he didn't think much of it. He finally waved back and she moved a little closer and waved again. He waved back and she moved a little closer again. After a couple more times and she then gave him the sign for money. She was hoping for some free hand outs!!

He still gets his packages in good time. I had worried about the last one I sent but he said it was in great shape when it got there. He loves getting mail and whatever else. So thanks to all of you that are supporting him.

My phone calls are becoming less frequent. Maybe he is running out of minutes!! I haven't actually talked to him, but the kids were on there facebook account and he was one so we "chatted" again that way.

He said he is still doing good and that he will be going back to the other base soon, but didn't know for sure when. I am figuring that he will be back for Thanksgiving.

I keep watching to see if I can catch him on line again and find out what is going on, but haven't had any luck yet. Just wanted to post and let you know that I have sort of talked with him and that he is doing good.
