Letter 13

Yep, I got your letters including #9, Reyes, Mama, Papa, Elena (she sounded worried about me) What did you tell her?

Answer to ?'s
I'm sending a package with the original paperwork. As soon as possible, maybe tomorrow or on Friday.
I can't keep anything at boot camp except letters, which by the way are very helpful and fun to read. It took me 2 days to read them. That was sooo cool.
Hey, don't worry my family with our issues. They have enough to worry about, I guess.

For now, don't plan on bringing anything to me. You mentioned clothing and stuff. First of all, it's not allowed to have it here, but on Sunday I'll check if I can have a brother or sister from the branch to keep it at their place if possible. I'm pretty sure we'll get another phone call before I finish with BC. I just hope we get across our messages over letters so we just talk about fun stuff over the phone.

Hey, BC is relaxing a lot. We took test "2" today. I passed it. I don't know my score yet, but I did pass. I just have to keep taking classes for next test. And keep on trucking: following instructions, being quiet, silent most of the time, keep on working out with the group, lose weight and keep it down so I don't get put in the diet programs or not being able to advance more in the navy due to chunkiness.

We're not getting yelled at as much or IT (intense trained) lately. That's good news. We are busy doing activities and getting ready for graduation (marching, uniforms, issue, uniform fittings, uniform stow 'n' fold classes 'n' more.

I also got my orders today to move to "A" school for the medical/dental program when I'm done here. So that's motivating, right? It's kind of the end of the tunnel.

I'm still paying, reading, scriptures 'n' such. I'm not lowering my standards every. God is kind enough to hear me when I need Him the most and I'm supposed to be kind enough to pray hard when I don't feel like I'm desperate for his help.

Thanks, baby, for all your hard work in the house, take it easy. I'm proud of you, know it.

I'm excited for the future with you and the ninios. I'm doing my best here so we can be better off.

Say hi to your family and my family when you have a chance.

Love you kids, love you, honey

See ya soon.
