Update

Here's what I know: no news is good news.

So far, Jordan is still in Charleston, and that is wonderful news. The last group that left from his base were given 2 weeks notice, then sent to Washington DC for training, and then sent to Iraq 45 days after that. That's what we expect will happen to Jordan. So far it hasn't, and that is fine with us!

There were three groups notified in May that they would be deployed in the near future - Jordan's and two others. The other two groups have now been told that they won't be going any time soon! They haven't told Jordan's group this yet, but that is what we are praying for! The summer months in Iraq are going to be the most dangerous. The heat is a major factor, especially considering the protective gear our troops must wear. Also, the next few months are expected to be the most deadly, with September hopefully bringing more stable conditions.

Please continue to pray for Jordan! He is still in sweet South Carolina, so that means our prayers are working! Pray that if he has to go to Iraq that it will later in the year, or that he would not have to go at all!!! Also remember our brave soldiers who are already there, and those going soon.

Thank you all for your loving encouragement and prayers not only for Jordan, but for our whole family. We feel your prayers and see God working!

I'll keep you posted, but remember, no news is good news!
