Lots of exciting things have been happening! Tribal Waves, a YWAM team, came to help at the flight school. They tore down a wall we needed removed, did yard work, and pulled nails from boards. They were a huge help!
In exchange, we let them get pictures with one of the planes. It was a win-win!
Our church did its Vacation Bible School. I volunteered to help with the five and six year olds, and loved doing it. Some things I never thought I would say that I found myself saying VBS week: "You can't all three have the same chair", "If you walk and don't run down the hallway, you'll get another chance to win a prize at the end of the day", "I only have two hands and can't hold seven of your hands", "I know you can write your own name, but you can't have my sharpie", and "My lap won't hold more than one person at a time". I loved working with the kids, and wouldn't have spent my week any other way.
My dad, mom, brother and I all had the opportunity to go white water rafting in Oregon, and all had a blast on the river and fellowshipping with other Christians.
I was invited to go backpacking with a friend the next weekend. The place we camped was beautiful. We were right on the beach with the ocean creeping up fairly near our tent. It was a fun filled weekend carrying heavy packs on our backs, walks along the beach, and diving into waves. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera, or I would put some pictures up.
The flight school is getting students in early September, so we are all excited to finally get the school started. Dad is finishing up his training to be a certified flight instructor, so he can teach pilots in the air. We are all proud of him!
