Hi there! Update from Kilbourne.

Postby bkilbour » Thu Jul 14, 2011 5:07 am

Hey there, folks!
I'm posting this from Yokosuka - we pulled in for a liberty port for a few days, so I can actually get online for a bit.
Thank you all for your prayers and for the help as I got underway - I was finally able to qualify, get my fish, and get promoted to Petty Officer Third Class (that is, the Navy's version of a corporal). I'm now ET3(SS) Kilbourne, instead of a normal seaman. Hooyah!

Praise God, too - we've been having some spiritual fruit in all of this (a guy is starting to come to Christ, and some others are being rededicated), despite a lot of struggle. I've been growing in my own relationship with God,(and that has also been a real struggle...), and there is fruit here, too.

So... what have I missed? What's been going on in CAA?
I'll try to send some pics when I get the chance (unless we leave before then...), but they'll be mostly of our swim call and halfway night.

-Love y'all,
Blake

Glad to hear it, man!

One of the things going on is that Vig Mognaga will be doing a Q&A with CAA.

Congrats! I'm so glad to hear you've been doing well! :D

Hey, that's great, hope you have some smooth sailing the rest of your... adventure...???

Anyway, ummmmm recent news, google + has mixed responses among the community, but we all agree it's just another social site we'll get bored of.
And this I pray, that your love would abound still, more and more with real knowledge and all discernment. Be prepared to preach the gospel at a moment's notice. Do you know the gospel well enough to do so yourself? Be ready.

Glad things are going well. Congratulations on the promotion! :)
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
