We've moved back to Indonesia / Hangar Dedication
We realize that it's been a long time since we have posted a blog. Also, while we were on furlough our posts were few and far between since our lives really were not all that interesting. Now that we are back we will be trying to post a blog weekly.
We have really enjoyed having Lee and Linda Calhoun, Laura's parents, with us to help move into our new house. We are so thankful for their help, and we already miss them since they left. Lee actually took all of the pictures below.
Below you can see our new house. It took months and months to find it. Finally, one became available when some other missionaries left. The best part about it is that there is hardly any traffic and it is quiet and peaceful in our neighborhood.
When the prior family left they literally took the kitchen sink and cabinets. So, we had new cabinets built and we spent lots of time getting the faucet to work and adding knobs.
One of the many projects in recent days: the tile was broken and sharp, so I patched it with white cement. Other projects have included hanging curtains, getting the internet working, unpacking boxes, hanging ceiling fans, figuring out the water system, getting rid of a bat infestation and many other things.
I've also spent a few days getting current in the airplane again with a check pilot. As of Thursday, they set me loose to fly again passengers again.
The biggest event that happened since we arrived back was the hangar dedication ceremony. Below is our new floating hangar with the new office in the background.
The ceremony opened with us pulling the airplane in the hangar for the first time electically. It took about thirty seconds all in all. This will revolutionize our operations.
Below you can see our group right before praying and giving God all this new equipment. We want to use all this great stuff for His glory.
No dedication would be complete without a big meal.
