Dear Shan,
Today we are continuing to drive on with our training.  I wish there was time to go to church today, but the way our class schedule is set up, I can't today.  I should have some time later today to get some good reading in though.  I assume you are fasting today being the first Sunday of the month.  I am with you. 
I miss you and the children.  It is becoming more and more evident the longer I am here that there is unlikely to be any end to the war and violence on earth until the Second Coming.  I believe it important that we be His tools regardless of what nation we find ourselves a part of.  All thing ultimately work together for His good.  We need to keep faith in that.
I'm glad you had such a productive day yesterday.  I will plan on talking to you later. 
Love,
J
