Tea?!

So I talked to Jacob just a little while ago online, which is always nice, and he told me something that I just have a hard time picturing. For those of you who don't know Jacob well, this will not be nearly so funny and strange as it is for those of us who do. We were just chatting away about inconsequential things when he randomly tells me had tea this morning with some Afghans! Jacob had tea, hot tea, chai tea. It is weird! I can't picture Jacob ever sitting and drinking hot tea of any kind, but the mental image that comes with this is beyond weird. It's like something from the Twilight Zone!!! I understand why he did it mind you. I wouldn't want to offend them either, but still the mental picture is just beyond me! Just when I think I know the man he goes and surprises me. On top of that I asked if he would sit and have a cuppa with me one day and he said sure if it offends you for me not to! I think he is some kind of pod person and not really Jacob at all. lol! Anyway, I just thought I would share that little anecdote with all of you.
On a different note, those four soldiers I mentioned in the previous blog are apparently going to be just fine. There was a note posted on the 1-108th facebook page letting us know what was going on. Apparently broken bones and lacerations are the extent of the damage. No, I am not saying that this isn't bad. I imagine the men suffering broken bones are not feeling all that great and the lacerations can't be feeling all that great either, but this could have been much, much worse. Permanent damage worse or well, let's just leave it at worse and not go there. Please keep these men and their families, as well as all of the others in your prayers. Thank you!
