He's there for a conference, but it feels like a mini vacation! Yesterday, he went running with a friend and the shopped a good portion of the day. Later they visited the National Museum of Bahrain. My favorite story is from his first day there. He went running and then was walking along the shore of the Arabian Gulf which is rocky not a beach. He went to step down on a rock, but it was mossy and he slipped in. I told him I prefer to just tell folks he fell in the Arabian Gulf!
Yesterday's shopping day is the first full day off he's had since he left in January. He feels very refreshed and will be ready to get back to work next week. There have been lots of sand storms this spring which ground all air travel which makes travel plans iffy. They were fortunate getting to Bahrain as quickly as they did, and hopefully will get back to Baghdad on schedule. They travel through Kuwait, but because of all the delays, accommodations in Kuwait are really full.

So glad to hear you had a well deserved day off. I check here every day or two and don't like to go weeks without hearing from you. But then hopefully you'll be home before long. I'll get my next package off to you soon. You're always in my prayers. Lynda
Glad to see a post, old man! Don't go all soft on us in those easy countries! Can't wait to see your face again.
Hi Vince,
I tried to send you an email in early April by way of 2 differnet addresses, but I don't think either made it through. Anyway, I have been praying for your safety and security. I and so many others, appreciate your service and sacrifice. You are missed around here and we all look forward to your return.
Thanks for all that you do.

Vince!! Thanks for your updates--it gives me and Merri Lynne more clarity on prayer for you, Betsy and the kids. Praise the Lord for your continued safety and Light that He gives through you to the people you come into contact with daily. God's Speed!!
Will and Merri Lynne
