Sierra's first verse

Terah started home school with the kids last week and all is going well. Part of their lesson is to learn Bible verses. Sierra just learned her first memory verse today. We just wanted to put in a little video clip of her because it is so cute. Home school is paying off. You can't do this in public school.

Wing inspection

October will be three years since I (Brian) was first introduced to Missionary Flights International. I was part of a team from MMS in Ohio that traveled to Florida to assist MFI with a wing pull inspection. Every 2000 hours of flight time it is required that the wings be removed and the mating surfaces and interior be thoroughly inspected. The plane has reached 2000 hours again and today we began the process by only removing one wing. If a hurricane should form and the plane needs to be flown to a safe location, it is much quicker to install one wing instead of two. This in my first attempt at video. Hope it works.

Tropical Storm Fay


Nothing like a good tropical storm to motivate you to prepare for the next storm which could be a hurricane. We have had 7 inches of rain since 8:00 a.m this morning and more is on the way. Wish we would have bought that canoe a while back. We could have used it in the front yard today. Several tornado warnings have been issued, one of which was within a mile of our house. Luke keeps looking out the window looking for "tormados" as he calls them. We closed the hangar today and canceled the flight that was scheduled for Haiti. Praise God that despite all the wind we still have power.
