It is so comforting to receive an email from Chris and it be so upbeat and positive. He is doing great and is so excited about the different operations that he is involved in and the difference they are making. He was very happy that the other day he had the opportunity to play a little football and soccer with the Iraqi children. That made his day! I have a box of toys headed his way so he can have them to give out while he is on patrol. He is really looking forward to receiving the package...he says the kids get so excited over toys.
Even though the place where Chris is currently at isn't very civilized, he doesn't seem to mind. There isn't a DFAC but he says he gets two T-rats a day and with a little imagination, they aren't too bad. Showers consist of a water tank on legs and a hose. Still no electricity but that is being worked on so it shouldn't be too much longer. Despite the rather primitive conditions, Chris loves what he is doing and says he really feels that they are making a difference.
Chris' positive outlook on things makes my job as a constantly worrying Mom so much easier. I thank God everyday that Chris is making the most of his situation and has figured out how to find the good in every situation.
