And...Action!

I can't tell you how good it feels to be back in a routine again! Our meeting with the leadership was pushed back until Friday, so I don't have anything to report on that, but in the meantime we have both thoroughly loved diving back into our ministries. Jeyson was put on a team that is working on a major maintenance project for a plane that flies out to tribes from Boa Vista. You may remember that we visited that base in the Spring and Jeyson actually was flown up there to work on this very plane when a tribe was facing an emergency. Now, this is a very in-depth engine overhaul so it was flown down to Anapolis where we have a bigger shop and more man-power.

The guys were working all over the plane, each on a different spot in order to get the work done as quickly as possible. Here is Jeyson with a new missionary, Rodrigo, who is just getting his hands dirty with maintenance for the first time now that he has finished his first basic theoretical course.

This project is so involved that even the windows were removed while they were at it. As soon as it's up and running again, the backseat will be filled with supplies and missionaries who are going to bring the Good News to people living in otherwise unreachable places. Crazy to think that this plane will ultimately bring people into God's kingdom!

This project came with great timing too as one of Asas's missionary couples from the past was in town. Neil and Meredith are with Mission Aviation Fellowship Canada and served with Asas since the 70's! Now they're down for a visit, and of course Neil got put to work.

I just stopped by to pick Jeyson up at the end of the day.

Meanwhile, this week I have been catching back up with my students and neighbors....just forgot to take pictures. Hopefully I'll be able to post some soon, but, I just have to say it again! It feels SO good to be back and in action!
