Finally, a Real Shower...

...but don't presume that I haven't showered at all before now, just not with soap.

I have finally made it to my final destination in Iraq and it is anything but rough. Three, sometimes four, meals a day. I barely work 10 hours a day and since it's in the evening, I've got practically the whole day to myself. I finally got in touch with Helen, which is comforting, but other than that everything is going without a hitch.

It's cold here, most of the time. Not freezing, but it gets down into the low 50s. Just kinda strange. I'm still adjusting, but everything here is mostly normal so adjusting isn't hard. There's honestly nothing to tell. The only significant difference between working here and the States is that I have to carry my rifle and a loaded magazine everywhere I go.

Keep praying, but mostly for Helen.
