Rough week

Last week was really rough for Allen. He was called out a lot, and he's struggling with that. He did, however, get to go to a Lutheran service on Sunday. One of his good buddies, Villalobos, went with him, since they aren't allowed to go alone. Villalobos is Catholic, but gave up his Mass service to go with Allen since he knew that he hadn't been able to go to a Lutheran service yet. Allen was even asked by the pastor to help with Communion. He felt very honored by that. He's been shooting lots of sub machine guns and grenade launchers, which he likes, but of course the fun gets sucked out of it. Keep sending letters, cards. Please pray for courage and strength for him to get through the next weeks successfully. This will be the end of week 5 for him. 4 more to go! Thanks, everyone!!
