Bringing Ankes comment forward
I am bringing Anke's comment forward to the Blog Page, for those of you who don't know how to read the comments. ( To do that just scroll down to the word comments and click it will let you read any comments made to the Original post.)
Here is what she wrote:
It's been a hard day for all of us but Ricky is on his way now and everything went well. He will spend the night in a military base (Rammstein) and then probably get a flight tomorrow morning to Kurdistan. Hopefully soon after that, he is going to arrive in Afghanistan, so we will hear from him very soon. I will always keep you informed if I hear from him or have any news. I miss you guys and can't wait to talk to you again. Anke (P.S.: I love you Ricky!)

January 29th, Update
I just spoke with Anke Briefly, they had a nice Pizza Dinner with all the other Soldiers and thier Families. Today has been a bit Teary eyed for us all. I am so Glad to have Family for my support, and For Anke and Rick.
Anke was told there may be a possibility that they can return home in 5 months. Wow, isn't The Lord Good? They haven't left yet and we are already getting Praise Reports. I will just claim That and thank The Lord for the Earlier Return.
Rick said he will take plenty of pictures and post them here! It may be almost a week before he can get a chance to Get in touch. We Certainly understand. Be Safe my Son! We Love you and Anke!
