Packing Up

In just another 1 1/2 weeks we will be leaving Palangka Raya to return to the States for a six month furlough. Wow, the last 3 1/2 years flew by quickly. Before we leave we have the gigantic job of packing up everything we own into boxes. You see, while we are in the states, our rental contact on this house is up and the landlord doesn't want to rent it out again. So that means that all of our friends here will be moving our stuff while we are in America. We want to make sure that everything is already packed and ready so that they we have as easy of a time as possible moving our stuff.

On another note, I didn't fly at all this week. I have been up to my shoulders inspecting one of our aircraft. It's a major inspection, and I'm basically doing it all alone, so it's quite time consuming. During this inspection, I've changed out most of the aircrafts control cables that move the control surfaces of the airplane.

We didn't celebrate Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving day. Indonesians don't celebrate Thanksgiving, so I ended up working that day. However, Laura has a turkey defrosting right now, and we plan to have a big dinner with all the other American families plus one Canadian family tomorrow night. Should be yummy!

My niece Hannah is doing pretty good this week. They hope to start more chemo this Monday. Like always we beg for your prayers for her.
