In The MAG Office And In MAG The Hangar

Reality
Okay, things are starting to fall into place. We don't work in a big green hangar on top of a hill anymore, we're blessed to work in a little brown building on the corner of Maple Avenue and Monroe Holt. We don't live in Ohio any more, we actually are living in North Carolina. Instead of having a pizza place on every corner like we did in Coshocton, we have a Biscuitville on every corner here in Burlington/Graham. Everyone should eat a Biscuitville at least once. I did. Biscuits truly are a way of life down here.

We're adjusting our lives from a rural mode (bicycling/walking around town, watching out for Amish buggies) to an urban mode (driving EVERYWHERE in heavy city traffic). We finally have a dog door in the back door but now Tucker and Tanner are waiting for their fence to appear so they can have unsupervised access to the back yard. They have, however, successfully tested the functionality of the doggie door as we consistently found them in the front yard during its installation! Those two dogs can be rather tricksie.

The house is nearly together, Karen's putting stuff up on the walls, and we're both integrating more into the daily operations of Missionary Air Group.

MAG Daily Operations
Now, these next photos will scare the CFO of MMS Aviation, Mary Sattertwaite (my partner for 16 years in the administrative office at MMS) no end, as they are of me reciepting donations and preparing the bank deposit! Mary, please take a chill pill--I really CAN do something related to numbers and money! And in just one deposit, I made sure MAG received a million dollars...oops...now where did I put that decimal point?

Carol (one of MAG's faithful volunteers) trains me in receipting MAG's donations and organizing the bank deposit.

Turned loose to receipt and organize deposits all by my self!

Video, Video, Video
We recently received three pallets of assorted medical clothing to be distributed to medical clinics in remote areas of Honduras and Guatemala. We needed help with the huge job of sorting, inspecting, and inventorying the clothing and New Covenant Fellowship Church's youth group responded to the task. See if you can find Karen in this video! As Medical Services Coordinator she was rather involved in the process.

Thanks so much for your continued prayers and gifts as we continue this transition!
