When, oh when, will the Commissary have OJ that is not from concentrate available?! It's been weeks since we have had any fresh meat. Weeks since I have seen any OJ. Milk comes in every few days and is gone in a few hours. If you want cream or milk or any of those fun things, you are encouraged to visit the "milk" section in the canned goods. Yes, milk in a box or a can. Not something I have eagerly jumped on board with.
Apparently, all these empty shelves are due to the crisis in Lybia (and possibly in other countries throughout the Middle East?) Flights have been rerouted and changed and planes diverted to other areas as what was supposed to be used to bring us milk is now being used to help another people group.
I think that is a worthwhile reason to not have OJ, don't you?
There was a meeting late last week, and we have been told that our position as family members here seems extremely secure -- that no evacuation is anywhere in sight. Some of you have asked me about Veronica. Since she is not here as a "sponsored family member", if she had to leave the country, it would be at our cost. Something we will obviously take care of if it comes down to it.
But for now, all appears well. We are very grateful for this as one of our main reasons for coming to Turkey was to stay together as a family.
Please keep praying. (For the Middle East, not really the OJ.)

Okay, this is a stupid thing to mention, and I know that, but Libya is spelled with L-i-b first, followed by the y-a.
... just typing too fast.
Praying for all of you and the Middle East and for orange juice!
