Dear everyone:
Ryan and Amy both heard from Neal tonight (about one hour ago 10pm EST) and here are the highlights:
1.They were short calls
2. He is sleeping in opium fields with sheep - Amy could hear them :)
3. He has had only 7 hours sleep in the last 3 days - lots of work and he is in the helicopter most of the time
4. It is hard to get water - though you hear on the news they have dropped in water for them. No showers or bath facilities...but that's nothin' for military guys in the field!! Pray they get the job done and get back to camp soon.
5. He says "keep praying, they are doing well and wanted you to know that your prayers matter" and "thanks for all you are doing and he loves us all"
Just so you know, www.msnbc.com has the best updates that we have found. You just go to that sight and click "nightly news" then look for Afghanistan reports or under world news. Neal is with that reporter that is embedded with them...so what we see on the news, he already knows! David Woods from the Baltimore Sun has moved to another location with a new group.
Mark is doing well in Egypt and says that Wagih is really doing a good job in Cairo. He'll be home on Monday night. Thanks for all your prayers.
Love,
Cathy
