First scare

We had to evacuate our tent last night because someone found a suspicious package right outside our living accommodation. It took four hours for EOD to clear it while we waited in our pajamas outside. I still haven't heard if it was real or a decoy but it looked like a classic IED. Please pray for our safety. Something they told us before we left is that internal threat is our biggest danger, as we have loads of local contractors working for and along side us.
*Sorry Walt, our conversation got cut off right as someone told us to evacuate.

Love you family and friends!

  3. I found this website that gives updates on Afghanistan:

    There are several clips on life at Camp Bastion and the hospital ... it's comforting in a way to see the soldiers/doctors/nurses in their element.
