Candidate Evaluation Dinner

I'm currently overseeing the evaluation of an MMS candidate from the United Kingdom. His name is Andy and he's now halfway through evaluation week. As part of the evaluation process, each candidate works in the hangar all day and then eats dinner with a different staff member, or staff members, each evening. Tonight was our night to host Andy.Karen whipped up a couple of her famous Home Made Pizzas and then slammed us with her Special Strawberry Shortcake (home made shortcake resting on a generous slab of vanilla ice cream, slathered with fresh strawberries, topped with whipped cream. Oh man...you know I'll be back on my bike tomorrow morning.

We had an enjoyable evening with Andy and picked up a few new words from our English brother: "a bring and share" = a pot luck or covered dish dinner, "joint" = a roast of meat with the bone still in, "joined together writing" = cursive writing, and always use the word "trousers" because in England "pants" means what you wear underneath your trousers. You don't want to be walking around England telling everyone how nice their pants look.

Should the remainder of this week go well, it may be possible that Andy would return to MMS to start apprenticeship later this Fall. We'll see what God has planned.

Thank you for your prayers for me, for MMS, and for Andy as we seek the Lord's will in this candidacy.
