LOVE

This week I've been lucky enough to get two letters from Kenny! Each letter he is sounding better and better. Although last week hey went through the gas chambers, they do this drill to teach the soldiers how their gas masks work. So they file a group of soldiers into a room with their masks on then fill the room with CS gas, then they have them all take off their masks. Kenny said he couldn't really explain it but all of a sudden he couldn't breath, his eyes started burning and watering, and he was choking and gagging. It sounds horrible :( I hate that he is going through all this but he is such a good sport about it! He has been able to go to church the past few weeks and he even got a calling as a priesthood blesser.

I have started reading a book called The Five Love Languages. It has been very interesting learning how to better communicate with spouse and to stay in love even after the honeymoon stage :) The five "languages" are: quality time, words of affirmation, gifts, acts of service , and physical touch. I haven't gotten too far but I think my love language is probably physical touch and acts of service. Those are the things that I find important in a relationship. I love holding hands, cuddling, and hugging (back massages are great too, if I can talk him into giving me one). But I also love getting little acts of service, even if its just a little note. I am excited to finish reading and maybe learn what Kenny's love language is. 

Here are some pictures that Kenny's commander posted on his battery's Facebook page

Can you spot him? Hah they all have the same hair!
