Mission Mississippi
Peter is dwelling in a mobile home filled with 40 soldiers. He shares a TV. with them in the recreational room. In the evenings it is a rat race for the showers. They only have 12 showers. His days are busy. He is constantly in classes and in training. He is learning everything pertinent to his mission overseas. He has been injected with every plaque known to man. But despite all of this he still finds a way to keep his morale up. He cuts hair during the weeknights and on the weekend. He charges $5.00 a cut and has pulled in some good cash. He is located in an area full of officers, so haircuts are in big demand. He will be visiting us for Fathers’ day. Then very sadly he will be shipped out ahead of his crew. It will be his responsibility to prepare the camp for the rest to come. He is part of a support group and his main responsibility will be preparing and delivering trucks and supplies for soldiers located as far up as Afghanistan and as far south as Omar. We as his family members are obviously very proud of him. I have heard the stories he tells me and have talked to his troops. Some of the troops don’t know quite how to take his mouth yet. As for us we miss him a lot.
