So it's about time for a little
move update...
- First a HUGE victory....our stuff arrived in Boa
Vista this week!!! It is being held in the mission's storage space there.
It was such an answer to prayer to have arrived so quickly, only a little
more than a month rather than the up to 2 months expected!
- Now that our belongings have arrived, we are
anxious to get there! It makes it feel like Boa Vista is home and here is
not. And I'm growing a bit weary of living in a mostly empty house.
But we're ok and chugging along.
- We have decided to not sell our home in Anapolis
for now. It is very common for families from our mission to maintain
homes in Anapolis since it's our mission's headquarters. The houses are
often rented out to other missionary families and then the rent money is used
to rent another home at the base the owner is living at. This is because
families often get shifted around from base to base. We would definitely
like to buy a house in Boa Vista eventually, but at least for a while we want
to rent.
- So, we last week our house was painted and ready
to go for whoever is going to rent it.
- We have leads on several families interested in
renting, and have been trying to close the deal. Please pray that God
would make it clear who the right family is to live here.
- Jeyson has to renew his pilot's licenses before
we go to Boa Vista. It's a rather complicated and backed up process here
in Brazil. The first step was studying for and taking a written
test. So, Jeyson studied up for a
few days this week and drove two hours away to Brasilia to take it.
He passed, which is great.
- Next Jeyson will have to fly a few refresher
hours before he will be able to take the practical test to renew his licenses.
We are trying to figure out with our mission the logistics of that
financially. (BTW, yes Jeyson did fly on the trips to the tribes etc, but
technically he was not the pilot in command, responsible for the flight, since
his license was not renewed yet. It was perfectly legal, just in case you
thought that was weird :)
- Anyway once he gets these refresher hours done,
we will get in line to get his recheck flight from the government. It is
a wait of a few weeks right now, unless we choose to pay extra to do the
process expedited. We're not sure yet.
- Then,
Jeyson has renewed his license, the mission wants him to get about 10 hours of
flight lessons in the Cessna 206 to prepare him for some advanced flying he
will do in Boa Vista.
- So, that’s where we’re at.
Please keep praying for us through this process and for patience along
the way!
