Only ten more days until we get to see Jonathon again. We finally got a picture of him in uniform yesterday. I really liked the picture, and thought it made him look very grown up.
Terri thinks he looks tired in the picture, and it made her feel sad. I guess if he looks tired that makes her feel like he's not happy, or not well, or maybe just not getting enough sleep. I never really thought you were supposed to get enough sleep in Basic Training anyway.
We leave on Wednesday morning, October 24 to drive up to Missouri. We'll drive all day Wednesday and get a motel about 30 minutes from Fort Leonard Wood on Wednesday night. Thursday morning at 8:00 they have a family orientation/briefing, and we are supposed to get him around 11:00. He's asked us to take him to Cracker Barrel, and a bookstore, either Books-a-Million or Barnes and Noble.
He has to be back at his barracks at 8:00 that night. After graduation Friday morning we expect that he'll be shipped out immediately, but we're still praying that there might be some chance he could hang out with us for another day and fly out either Saturday night or Sunday morning. We'll have to leave early Sunday to make the drive back anyway.
While we're gone Parish Perry will be leading prayer meeting and Bible study on the 24th. Milton Woods, Interim Associational Missionary for the South Metro Baptist Association, will lead the morning service on the 28th. There will be no services on the evening of the 28th due to it being a NASCAR race weekend.

He is indeed hansome and I am so proud to call him friend. Tell him how much we admire and love him. Tell Teri that you are right...if he wasn't tired by this point in the process, he wouldn't be normal.

He does look very grown up in uniform. Just let him know that I am praying for him.
