We heard from Brian last Monday afternoon. After 5 days he made it back from doing whatever it was he was doing and hoping to get some rest before they go and do it all again. He sounded good- tired but good. We were relieved to hear from him.
The best things we can send over to them now is cigarettes/tobacco and food. The guys have been eating the MREs for two months now and it has to be getting old. With the exception of the occassional BBQ goat and chickens cooked by the Afghanis it doesn’t sound like they’ve had much else. So we’re going to be focusing on the power bars and any quick food items (crackers, jerky, soup, etc. etc.) we can cram into a box and get over to them.
Here are some photos Brian sent from Afghanistan.

Thank-God for the Ipod
Lu and I are doing ok. As we knew, we’re going to have our ups and downs (its especially tough when we know he’s out running around) but overall we’re doing ok. It always helps when we hear his voice on the other end of the phone. And, we’re so proud of what he and his buddies are doing. They are really sucking it up and accomplishing some amazing things over there, we think it’s the least we can do to do try and do the same over here.
