We will be leaving Spring Hill, Florida tomorrow afternoon right after church services. We will get a ride to "Pilot Country Airport (X05)" around 1:00pm and after preflighting and verifying weather information we'll fly down to Key West, Florida.

The routing (for pilots) is:

X05 LAL V7 RSW V225 EYW KEYW

We expect the flight to Key West, Florida to take about one hour and forty two (01:42) minutes.

On Wednesday morning at 7:00am local time we'll fly from Key West, Florida to Cancun, Mexico.

We expect the flight to Cancun, Mexico to take about two hours and thirty five (02:35) minutes.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After refueling in Cancun, Mexico we will continue our flight, same day, to Managua, Nicaragua.

The routing (again....for pilots) is:

MMUN CUN B881 BTO A754 TNT A502 MGA MNMG

We expect the flight to take about three hours and fifty eight (03:58) minutes.

After a day, or two in Managua...we will continue our journey to it's final destination of Puerto Cabezas, Nicaragua.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We expect to burn 60 gallons of AvGas on the way to Key West.

We expect to burn 91 gallons of AvGas on the way to Cancun.

We expect to burn 139 gallons of AvGas on the way to Managua.

We expect to burn 49 gallons of AvGas on the way to Puerto Cabezas.

The fuel in Key West costs $5.64 per gallon.....the AvGas in Mexico and Nicaragua is more expensive.

Please join us in thanking God for the help from the Nicaraguan government which has paid for the fuel to make this trip.

We are also pleading with God to expedite future expenditures from the Nicaraguan government for fuel to operate in Nicaragua. There was a LONG delay in the governments ability to get the funds for this trip to us, and we pray that the delays will become nonexistent in the future as we surge forward in this God-Given mission.

In His Service!

Dios le bendiga grandemente a su familia y ministerio.
