At last, letters!

Snail mail is wonderful! Mackenzie writes... BC is crazy. Every morning starts at four. RDC yelling and lights turning on. We have 15 seconds to get on our shoes and be infront of our bunks. We then proceed to shave in under 7 minutes. It really is horrible. I've cut myself a few times. Our showers are done in about the same amount of time with at least 40 guys and maybe 12 shower heads. I have to study a lot and memorize a lot or push ups or situps happen. My body is way tired and sore. And in another letter he says "This is the hardest thing I've ever done and I miss you all" We got our first phone call from him on the Wednesday before Christmas. We almost missed him. I was at the mall with Nan and the kids and didn't hear my phone ringing. I just happened to look at it for the time. So we didn't get to talk for very long and I can't really remember what was said other than we still had the wrong mailing address that he loved the letters even though if he got more than one a day he had to do 10 push-ups for each additional letter. It was good to hear his voice.
