Jathan called!

Jathan called this afternoon - for 2 minutes.  He told us everything that he could in 2 minutes.  He is doing well.  The first day was crazy.  This morning the sergeant made them stand at attention for over an hour, just because he could.  He is doing well now, though they haven't started basic yet.  They have only been in reception so far.  He will be moved to basic in a couple of days, and then he will send us an address.  He said that on Sundays during basic, they are usually allowed 20 minutes of phone time.  Today, it was literally 2.  

It was great to hear his voice and know that he is doing well.  

I didn't even get the chance to tell him that Dordt had sent his deposit back.

Keep praying!  I am sure that next week will be a bit ugly.
