John left for Basic Training on Tuesday --He is at Lackland Air Force Base

This is an email that is a follow up to a phone call from the older sister missionary that called on Friday night, saying that they had met with John and that he was doing fine. These three are the LDS recruits that are new. They get to go to church for 2 hours on Sunday, so they meet at 1:30 for Sacrament meeting followed by Priesthood/Relief Society time.
