In Kyrgyzstan



Greetings from Kyrgyzstan! We flew from Fort Dix to Leipzig, then to Manas, Kyrgyzstan (official language is Kyrgyz). The time difference from the Mountain Time Zone is exactly 12 hours, so when I call to talk to Emily, it is just an AM/PM switch. Haven't had much sleep lately, trying to adjust. A couple of days went by where I did not get to talk to Emily. This had me feeling a bit out of sorts. It wasn't until a kind soldier talked about playing basketball when we get to Afghanistan that I think I cracked my first full smile. Then connecting with Emily really helped; having family back home sure makes a difference. Hope you are all well.
