News from the Essex

Here is part of an email I got from Jon today. He is back on the boat, they were supposed to spend some time in the Philippines, but as soon as they got there and unloaded, they had to reload and go back to sea because of the typhoon. "Not a lot going on here just a lot of time for self reflection, trying what my next move is in this game of life or Marine Corp. I can't wait for the chance to see the family maybe we should do something like that Ohio trip back in the day with all the fam." Please be praying for him. He is supposed to be back sometime in January, although there is a possibility they will be sent back to the Philippines to help with clean up, which would delay his coming home. His little girl will be born in Dec.
