When you and I have a birthday, a few people remember and maybe some even call. When the Marine Core has a birthday, everyone knows about it! November 7th was the celebration of it's 234th year being established and let me tell you, your tax dollars were never harder at work. The US Embassy spared no expense in throwing the biggest and loudest ball that Guatemala will have all year. And here's the best part: I was able to surprise Rachel with a ticket to come and join me for it. It was an incredible night. The ceremony was one of tradition and honor and it was a privilege to witness the history of the marines and the testimony from marines current and past. After the ceremony came the dancing and it was a blast. I felt truly blessed that Rachel could come and visit and look forward to Christmas when I'm able to see the rest of my family.
I'm sure it's tough being away from family and friend, but I'm really happy you're down there doing God's work.
