Well, the engine is together, on the test stand and it ran for the first time today! It was a great feeling seeing that engine start right up after assembling it from its very basic components.
Tomorrow we will run it some more and break it in. Then, if everything goes well and all the tests come out OK, then it will go in a box to be shipped to Cameroon!
The weather has been lousy, but today was gorgeous! Warm, not hot, slight breeze and sunny! The kids have been playing with their friends a lot here. It seems the apartments are multiplying with kids! Every day I see new faces it seems.
Jonathan loves being outside with them as well. There is an R/C airplane field across the street, and the airplanes fly over our house. He looks up and starts clapping each time one flies over! It is neat.
We are excited to see Grandma, Aunt Pat, Great Gram and Great Grandma tomorrow! And Nicki and Ralphy too! They will be with us for the weekend. I have Monday off work, so we will enjoy them the whole weekend.
We have been doing pretty well with our Bible time in the evening as a family and the kids are really starting to see many of the truths of God's Word without being prompted much. We are in I Samuel now and every once in a while, they ask to read one of Jesus' parables as well. They love those. Yesterday was the parable about "Who is my neighbor?"
We also had dinner yesterday with the couple from Australia who are here for Orientation. They will be headed back to Australia in June then to Papua New Guinea, where he will be a pilot.
Jonathan's top front teeth are coming in really well now. He looks funny with the four front teeth! We can't get him to show all four at the same time for a picture, though.
