There is a bit of a gap here, but this is the last letter from Jobe:
Dear friends and family,
They’re finally back and Hibrahim is officially out of the woods. They spent six weeks in Rawalpindi, much longer than I anticipated, and made it through some rough times. As we went into the third and fourth week, I worried incessantly that they would run out of money, about Rahim sleeping outside with police sometimes waking him and telling him to move along, and about why it was taking so long for the doctors to release them. But, I stopped worrying when my interpreter, Ramin, made the point that Rahim knows how to take care of himself and his family. He is resourceful and will do whatever it takes to get his son well and get home. These people know how to survive. Rahim pointed out the fact that for many people in Afghanistan, life is just about finding a way to survive each day. He assured me that whatever hardships Rahim was facing, he was well conditioned to handle it. He was right. 
So, here are some of the pictures he brought back. I couldn’t believe that even though he slept outside for the last few weeks of the trip, he managed to keep my camera dry. It’s great to have him back in the shop, and it’s an indescribable feeling to have been able to help him save his son. I’ll never be able to thank all of you back home enough.
"This is one TUFF kid!!"
It's me again, and I'd just like to say thank you to Jobe and all of the Navy team here that contributed in saving this young boy's life. I arrived here on May 28th and this process was nearly over. Odd as it is, I feel cheated that I wasn't able to contribute directly. I offered several times that if there was "anything I can do," but Jobe said it was taken care of. He is a terrific guy, as is the Navy team that I work with here. I just want people back home to know what really goes on here is not at all what you see on the news back there. I'll draft another blog and show some pictures of the orphanage that the camp here recently constructed. I have been fighting to get on a community project, but my time here in the office does not afford much in the way of free time. I did manage to get my name on the board for construction of a sports facility that we will be building in the near future.
I hope you are all moved by this story, and that maybe some opinions of what we're really doing, what our commitments are and about the mission over here might be altered. There is still a war going on here, but our focus has shifted from fighting to much more of a "mentoring" and "humanitarian assistance" focus.
God Bless,
Michael
