Checking in from Astan

Hey ya'll. I just got a new room with internet and I thought I would post a quick update. I am now at my final location in Afghanistan. I'm trying to get settled into this new room and at the same time learn my new job. Basically I attend meetings at various places and ask a lot of questions and then pass the info I learn up to my bosses. really I'm just a glorified research assistant to them. The only good part is it is relatively nice where I'm at compared to some of the other places I've been in this country. The other good part is I'm away from the flag pole. Which basically means I don't have to listen to these guys here if I don't want to. Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support. -Ben
