Livin' on the airwaves!

Thank you to everyone who listened to the radio program on Radio Teopoli yesterday!  It was a lot of fun to do.  What a neat opportunity to call home and speak to so many familiar people - particularly the Cadets from the De La Salle Cadet Corps (Canada's only Roman Catholic Cadet organization), and students from 'Oaklands'!  It was really neat to be able to hear from you all!  I admit - it was kind of hard to hear at times, perhaps because of the connection, but it was great we were able to talk and to hear familiar voices!  I hope my Cadets and Students were able to get something out of that program.  I am praying for you, and for many others who are praying for me daily back at home.  We'll have to organize a time when I can just call and talk, as so many wanted to say hello, but were not able to.  Special shout-out's to 2Lt (you asked a good question!), Boots, Pebble, Bubbles, Ian, Wolf (Wolfgang?), M.F., Kate, and Danielle (did I miss anyone I spoke to?  I hope not.  Sorry if I did.)... and to you all!  Yes - I miss you all too, but I'll be back before you know it, rest assured.  To everyone else - I hope you enjoyed the program!  Thanks also to those of you across the world who tried to get on to the Internet to hear the live broadcast, or phone in, but could not.  Thanks also for the nice comments and feedback I got from some of you.  If we have a copy of the broadcast, it would be neat to sit around and listen to it!  (Ahhh - things to do when I get home!).

Hi Sir!

It was so good to be able to talk to you the other day, even though it was such a short time. Everyone was so excited honestly... I've never seen that many people in the Cadet office at one time.

Lauren wanted me to say hi :)

Anyway, we're praying for you, and everyone who's there with you.

Glad to hear you're safe!

Hello Captain Joe,

A priest I know, Father Fernando M., told a group of us about your blog last night. Just wanted to let you know that we are praying for you and for all the troops! My sister is an officer cadet at RMC. Please pray for her too!
