He's In Guam

OK, so I am a terrible blogger. Time has lapsed and much has happened. Patrick graduated and flew home the same day! We were thrilled and enjoyed 2 wonderful weeks with him. He packed up and left early last Saturday morning. It was a quick goodbye because he got an earlier flight out. We got several phones calls while he was in Texas waiting for his plane. We got an e-mail when he got to Japan because his calling card wouldn't work. Finally after 26 hrs. of flying he arrived safely in Guam.

Phone connection there is terrible and we have not found a good way to communicate yet. He is in temporary BEQ's while he waits for a roommate to arrive. He was told he will get to live in a 2 bdrm house on base within walking distance to the hospital. So, far he has been checking in and doing some work at the hospital. He has been assigned General Surgery and has already scrubbed in.

Good news! He will get to take the test for his E-4 in September!!! Please pray for him as he now only has 3 wks. to study. He was told he would miss the test day by and day and would have to wait until February so this is great news.

What an adventure! Please keep him in your prayers as he makes all these adjustments and tries to get things in order. I will include pictures as he sends them to us. Oh, and he says it is beautiful there!

Blessings
