What A Shiner!

I wanted to show you all a picture I took today on Skype of my tough husband. He and some other Army and Marine guys were playing football this morning and he took a hit while trying to get the ball. Check out his lovely shiner. That's a black eye if I ever saw one! And you should have seen it before he had the ice on it all day! I love you sweetie!

Mali News Reports

Below is a link from allafrica.com which describes some of what Bryon and his team are working on now. This is a recent public article so anyone has access to read it.

This next article is one from the Economist which describes the role Africa is playing on the War on Terror, specifically focusing on the vulnerabilities of West Africa (where Bryon is stationed).

When articles show up in the news, Bryon can tell me about them and I will share them on here for you to see. Before they become public news, they are classified. Every little bit helps us stay informed and helps us know how to route our prayers.

Volleyball Tournament

Bryon has been a part of a volleyball league the last few months while in Mali and has really loved it. This past Friday, they had a tournament and these are pictures from the tournament.
