News from Tyler

The crucible ended this morning around 6:45 AM our time. I give the Lord praise for bringing Tyler through. I don't know by word of his mouth that he made it yet, but I KNOW he did. Thank you for praying!

The mail just ran. I have to share a part of what Tyler wrote last Wednesday night just a few hours before beginning this final journey. We got this just now and Tyler writes:

"Something Extremely special is happening for our crucible!! The Commandant of the Marine Corps, along with 31 other Commandant's (from other countries) will be here on Parris Island to watch our crucible!! General Conway is the Commandant of the Marine Corps. He holds celebrity status among marines!!! There will be security everywhere!! Pretty crazy huh?!!"

I would have to agree...pretty crazy! I haven't had much time to process this information, but I know God had a purpose in all of this.

Tyler told us a week or two ago that he gets to call home tomorrow, Sunday, June 15th. It's called Liberty Sunday for them (I love that) and he says he can talk as long as he wants to (I hope so, but we'll see). I have a thousand questions! Maybe I'll get a few answers. One for sure...that he made it!
