We got Miah’s third letter today. It is exciting to get letters from him. This letter was dated June 9.
He told us that he ran the O-course and learned some “RAKE DOWNS” in MCMAP. He says that this was fun. He looks forward to Sundays so that he can go to church; he loves going to church.
He got to do pugil sticks. It is a competition using long sticks with pads. He was able to take down his partner. So quick that he was told that he had to do it again; he got to take his partner down a second time. He described being able to take down his opponent using the butt stroke.
He tries to eat lots of protein. Usually fish. He described how he eats lots of peanut butter every day to keep up his weight. He created his own recipe of “pink fluff”. He piles on the Cottage Cheese with red Jell-O.
He has a cold. Sometimes his ear hurts. He tries not to complain. He also has to deal with pain from his hamstring; a prior injury from Track. He is hoping that it doesn’t get worse.
We have sent him several letters. I know that several others have written too. I appreciate all the support from everyone. Miah loves getting news from home and friends.
More later….
