It has been a busy week

 

Hi Folks,

 

     It has been a really busy week for us here in Nicaragua.  As you most likely have already heard, the airplane is HERE NOW.  We have also been given permission to fly it in Nicaragua (a BIG worry for us), and many other blessings have flowed from our Heavenly Father.

 

     I now have my residency permit, and a visa to come and go, in and out of the country as many times as I need to, thanks to a patient wait in some very long lines at immigration today.

 

     My good friend Steven Nix, a fellow missionary (cross denominational friend) and pilot, is back in Nica and we were VERY GLAD to see his smiling face.  He was tired when we saw him and our job was to put a smile on his face...so we took the Aztec up for a necessary "shake-down flight", with Steve onboard.  Like most pilots, Steve can't help but smile when we are in the air.

 

     Julia Hess from Wings of Faith Fellowship is spear-heading a food drive/collection for the La Miskitia area in the coming few weeks.  We know that you will join us in prayer that her efforts will please our Lord.  I know that the people here in La Miskitia CERTAINLY will be pleased. 

 

     There is a conference of Church of God Pastors (local) in Puerto Cabezas in March (28-30).  Please keep their needs in prayer, and ask that God will bless these pastors mightily for making the sometimes long and hazardous journey to get here.  Please come if you can.

 

     More next week...it has been a long and tiresome week, full of GOOD ACTIVITY.  We are blessed, as we pray that YOU are blessed.
