You've got mail!

Okay i know bad title but i had to think of something. Anyway, no internet in our CHU's but its coming soon. im on mission right now so i have a little time, I have started to receive mail, its sporadic and i am sure it will all get to me. I want to thank Beth Gottefried..... sorry if i spelled it wrong, i dont have the postcards infront of me. She has sent three postcards so far and they are my first 3, I think its a good start. Thank you to Dad i recieved the Red Coleman, it is perfect. Thank you to Patti, John, Ryan, and Kerri, oh and what the heck Erin. I got the jerky, its friggin awesome. Thank you to Rachel and Michael, they have been an amazing support even though we have never met nor spoken. I recieved the three packages you sent and my soldiers and I thank you. Everything will come in handy, very handy. I know my CHU mate Sopczak has already started cleaning while im away on mission.
Thank you to mom, the cards are great, coming home off mission to an always uplifting message is one of the best ways to motivate and inspire a soldier. Thank you to Jessica, my wonderful wife, the package you sent was everything i asked for. The pictures were great. i love the shoes and the card was perfect.

Anyone reading this please take pictures of Jessica whenever your around her. I dont have enough pictures of her and its impossible for her to capture those moments that im missing. Jessica can print them and mail them but she cant take them. Thank you.

Thanks to everyone who has sent mail but it has not found me yet. I am sure it will. I will keep letting those who write or send, know that the time they spend is not wasted. I will either write back or thank you here. my hand writing is very bad so this might be the best. Thanks again for all your effort.

Some items

Okay, well some items that will help while im here.
Baby wipes, (lack of water means little showers or not even a shower)
3Mhooks the sticky ones that you can stick to a wall,
good hangers for clothes,
collapsable stool/chair, like the camping stools that fold up
pledge and dusting/cleaning items, we have lots of dust and would like to clean our little home
Carpet of any sort. it might be hard to send so if you cant no problem we have hard floors that can get cold. maybe a couple of bath rugs or different things,
A small to mid size cooler, but that is a luxury

I hope everyone is doing well, I cant wait for the first letters so please send them. If you send packages please number them so i can tell if a package you have sent did not make it.
I will try and take pictures and upload them once we get internet. It should be too crazy expensive. We are gonna try and get a TV so we can watch sports. Dont know how much that will cost? Anyway Books will never hurt, if you do send books i like true military, or leadership style books, Colin Powel, John McCain, and those types would be interesting to read about.

If you would like to get a letter or you think i dont have your address you are correct. please if you send a package, enclose a note with your address so i can be sure to have it correct.

Thank you to all those who support me. While we get set for the next 9 months please understand your letters mean more than you will ever know. If you want to write to others soldiers and not just me here are a few names of my soldiers you can put the letters in the packages to me and I will hand them out or you can address the soldier themself

PFC Larry Wilder
