FOB Smart at 2145 - Monday
Nighttime has fallen here in Qalat again and the hours of this day are quickly fading away. The day began early and was relentless, or so it may have felt at times. Work all around me and everything that I do here and now seems surreal. Not so much in the sense that what I am doing or experiencing is unbelievable, rather it is surreal because of the reality of actually being here and now. Time flies by very quickly here, thankfully, and I am, as always, greatly appreciative of the magnificent opportunity to be working amongst these people, both familiar and unfamiliar.
Kaesen sounded tired on his way to school this morning. I asked him to provide Daddy a list for Christmas wishes and then I had an even better idea! I asked him to have his momma help him write a letter to Santa Claus and have her send it to Daddy. He thought it was a great idea - so did I. I cannot wait to see what he comes up with; however, he did say he wanted a "real telephone." Hmm, we'll see if Santa can produce that for him this year.
More missions tomorrow and beyond... more hard and easy work to complete ahead and, you know, it is good. Life is altogether complicated and I am grateful for it every day I breathe.
143, Kaesen.
Good night and good day.
