3 new letters.

I got 3 letters from Skyeler yesterday and it made my day. I have been feeling kind of down just because I really miss him and I didn't know when I was going to get another letter. I didn't know if he was going to wait for me to send one and then send me one or how it was going to work but I got letters and I was soo happy.
Skyeler is staying positive and optimistic. I knew he would but I was slightly worried. But his platoon is needing some help. He has a lot of younger guys who thing they are all bad A and they just make things miserable for his whole platoon. Sky just wants to get through it and do what he is told but they are making everyone look bad. Sky has been getting discouraged just because he missed me and everyone back home. He has been losing some weight (we all knew he would right) but they don't have a scale so he doesn't know how much. He is determined to continue eating from the green menu and he has given up all drinks except water and milk. For those of you who know Skyeler well giving up even chocolate milk is a big thing. He sure does love his chocolate milk. My next letter was him saying that he was going to allow himself to drink chocolate milk on Saturdays! :) oh he is so funny I just love him. PT (physical training) is getting easier for him so I am optimistic that he will do just fine on that portion of the test for graduation.
On Sundays he is able to attend an hour and a half of church. So sacrament meeting and part of priesthood. He was really feeling the need to go and be spiritually uplifted. I am so glad that they encourage going to some sort of religious service. I think all the SIT (soldiers in training) need it. Also on Sundays the soldiers eat the MRE's since the dining facility closes early and again Skyeler enjoyed his meal. Makes me wonder if they are not suppose to like it?
Sky would like to thank everyone for praying for him to be able to sleep, it has been working. I would also like to mention that I think Skyeler has learned a lot the past couple of weeks and is growing as a person. He is going to be such a better individual coming out of basic than going in. I knew he would but I have already started seeing the change in him. He is such a special person and I love him so much. Please continue to pray for him and his platoon. Sky has been getting discouraged but he continues to be positive and optimistic. What a wonderful example.
