The fine art of moving…
Yes it is a fine art, and yes it does get more refined each time I do it. ☺ About five weeks ago, after finishing language study on the Island of Java, I moved to the Island of Kalimantan to begin fulltime ministry in the flight department. Praise the Lord as this is an exciting time for me!
 So what are the benefits of moving? New place, new house, new people, new weather, new experiences… that always makes life interesting. I suppose the best part of constantly moving is that it is a real good reminder that this world is not my home!
Praise the Lord, in the middle of June I was able to go to Jakarta and take all the written tests needed to begin the process of obtaining my Indonesian pilot and mechanic licenses. Please continue to pray as this takes time. I don’t yet know the results of my tests.
 In the mean time I have been working at the hangar helping to keep the airplanes in good condition. From time to time I have also been able to ride along on a few flights and see some of the places we fly into. Lord willing I will soon be able to start the checkout process.
 Praise the Lord for the provision of a car! It is a 1993 Honda Accord and it should do the job for the time being.
Indo Fact:
-It is durian season now and for some reason the locals love this stuff. Durian, they tell me, is a fruit. Most hotels ban the stuff, most foreigners can’t get close to it and I tend to agree with the Guineas Book of World Records when they describe this fruit as smelling like a sewer! Anybody want a bite?
Thanks so much for your prayers and support!
