As many of you know, the end of the school year is often a blur. This spring has been no different for us. We are looking forward to some time of rest this summer. Since Gabriella graduates from high school next year, and we will be taking a longer furlough then, we've decided to visit the States this summer for only 6 weeks. We know the time will go by quickly, but we hope to see as many of you as possible. Here is our itinerary thus far:
June 2-16: Josh at flight training in FL, Brin at the girls with her family in NC
June 17-26: With Josh's family
June 27 - July 12: Tremont
July 13-15: St. Louis
July 15: Leave for Brazil
Here's a recap of what we've been up to lately...
As some of you may have read in a previous post, my decrepit body is beginning to break down and I had to have surgery on my ACL. We decided to do the surgery here in Brazil, the inset of the photo above shows me posing in front of a sign boasting that the hospital was the official hospital of the World Cup. Brin was much more encouraged by this fact than I was.
The surgery actually went very well (other than some complications with the epidural) and recovery has been going very smoothly. Unfortunately, no soccer for another year though!
At work in the hangar, Josh built a test machine for alternators that will allow the shop to be an authorized repair station for alternators, hopefully providing a source of income to offset the high cost of missionary aviation.
