Work is Going Well

Work continues to go well.

Today I finished up my tail wheel assembly for the Helio Courier. More hand made parts, fitting them to other hand made parts and resizing to fit. It is a lot of fun!

After finishing that, my next assignment was to help with a (yuck!) helicopter. Just kidding. Helicopters aren't my favorite vehicle, but any training I can get is good! I was helping with a 100 hour inspection on a Robinson R44. It uses an engine very similar to the ones on the JAARS airplanes.

Jonathan has started doing something very funny. Whenever we are all laughing, he tries to join in and he does this fake, forced laugh that sounds more like coughing. It is funny to watch. Of course it makes us laugh harder, which just feeds him! He is eating a lot of solid foods now. We are still waiting for more teeth to come in. He still just has the bottom two. Although he eats like he has a full mouth full.

Now, if I could just get him to close his mouth when he chews! Of course I am still working on the older ones with that!

This morning was our monthly praise/prayer meeting. We meet for two hours in the morning to spend sharing prayer requests and praise reports. We hear from two guest speakers; the directors from Wycliffe, Japan and Wycliffe, South Korea respectively. It is so neat to hear how God is working in so many people around the world to accomplish the goal of Scripture translation.

God is doing a mighty work all around the world, and as such, there are many attacks from the enemy. The countries that are seeing some real breakthroughs are the ones where things are going very badly on other fronts. Papua New Guinea is seeing its share of hardships right now.
