The past few weeks I have really been blessed by the people that are close in my life. My lease ended at the house that I was living at but i still had things that i needed to so in town like finishing out the last week of work. Since I didn't have a place to live a couple that are close friends to me offered to let me live with them and sleep in their garage. 

Some friends also planned a going away party for me. I had a really good time and was really blessed by all of the people that showed up and showed support for me. It was a really great feeling having all of these people loving on me and pouring out into me. 

I was also blessed by my father this past weekend. He went out of his way and drove 5 hours to me to help me move all of my things from my house to my parents house. He took me and a few friends out to lunch so i could say good bye to them and then he drove another 5 hours back home that same day. It would have been a really burden if i had to deal with moving everything by myself and my father really helped my deal with moving everything.

I just want to thank all of you that have been there to support me, wether it be financially or helping with things or in any other ways. All of you are a big part of who I am and i extremely appreciative. I ask for you guys to continue to keep me and my squad mates in your prayers, especially now that this journey is about to truely start.

Thank you all,
David Mergl
