Update

Adam was able to call again tonight; I felt bad because right off the bat he said he would really like to speak to Andrew because he only had a few minutes, but Andrew was already asleep. Hopefully next time he is able to call Andrew is still awake, I could tell he really missed him!! I asked him if it was as bad as he thought and he said it was tough, but he had a good flight and they were doing a good job on their assignments so that was why he was able to call, so as long as everyone keeps up the good work he should be able to call home on a regular basis. He said that he has received our mail, which is great since it took a whole week for his postcard to get here, but he said that he has only been allowed to open one letter so far. That must be torture to have a bunch of letters and only be able to open one!! But, I guess it gives him something to look forward to for the next time they give him the okay! I told him I have a tendency to ramble and apologized if the letters were too long, but he said keep them coming, so the one must have cheered him up a little! I had read that everything has to be thrown away after reading it and he did say that he had to throw the letter away but he was able to keep the picture, so we will have to see, but I told him not to worry if they make him throw it away, the important part is that he got to see it in the first place!! But, he sounded good, just a little bummed out that Andrew was already asleep, I tried cheering him up and told him that I was making the arrangements for the trip down there and that we would be there for 5 whole days and on the itinerary there are a lot of free time for him to spend with us, so hopefully that will do the trick to keep his head held high!!
