Warmer Weather Means Bike Riding
With the warmer weather I'm back riding my bicycle to the shop on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. We rode our bikes quite a bit during our recent vacation at the Outer Banks in North Carolina and had fun exploring Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head at the much more leisurely pace of pedal power. It was totally flat there and it was nice to be by the beach.
The five mile ride to the mission here is totally flat, too, right up until the 250 foot, half-mile hill on the top of which the airport (and MMS) is located. It takes me about ten minutes to ride up the hill and less than a minute to get to the bottom. I climb at about three miles an hour and ride down at 40.
Here I am arriving home after a day at the mission.Karen Was Up At MMS Today
Normally Karen works up at MMS on Thursdays and Fridays but with the backlog of work that stacked up over her two weeks of vacation (I only had ONE week of vacation!) she came in and spent the afternoon inputting the mailing list of one of our candidate families. One of Karen's responsibilities is to manage each of our families' and the organizational mailing lists. It's a big job.
Karen inputs the 250 addresses on the newest mailing list. Having a House Guest
The past three days we were blessed to host Tim as our house guest. Tim's son, Kevin, was part of the LeTourneau University missions team that served a week with us back in March. Kevin made plans to return for three days and while we were working out the details Tim asked if he could come along to help too. While Tim was with us, Kevin stayed three doors down with Andy. The arrangements worked out very well.Tim and Kevin kept busy in the hangar and worked on several different projects while they were here.
Volunteers Tim and Kevin.
