Kevin's Happy!

Kevin is finally working and he loves it! We were able to Skype this morning for a few minutes. It was really good to see him!

He got to his new unmentionable location and found that they had lost one of his bags. It was his bigger bag that contains his clean underwear, clean socks, his toiletries, and his phone. (The phone isn't working but he uses it to get phone numbers.) That was Saturday and he started working on Sunday. He was supposed to have his bag on Monday but it still was not there. They told him to check back in on Wed. to see if it shows up. He, of course, was pretty angry at the situation because he has been unable to shower, shave, brush his teeth, use deodorant, or change his underwear and socks! There was a guy nearby that said he could use one of his towels and his soap. That made it better but it still doesn't change the situation much. He told me that he'd never take his toothbrush for granted again!

They have a small Post Exchange at this place but he couldn't find deodorant in the little store anywhere.

The company that he works for is leaving Afghanistan. He has applied for the same position with a different company. It looks like they have 3 positions available in Afghanistan. Please pray that he gets on with this other company. He will actually be making more money with the other company than he is with KBR. I am praying for God's will to be done! Also please pray that his bag will arrive on Wed. safe and unharmed. Thanks!

This new location he is at has open sewage pits. He says it isn't too bad during the daytime but it smells pretty bad at night.

Another tidbit is that he wears a bullet proof vest everyday and a safety hat. He says that the vest is heavy because the chest plate is made of metal. (Bryan's is Kevlar and is much lighter in comparison.)
