Generation Gap is Bridged

April 17, 2010

Thank you so much for all your prayers regarding our current blackout situation. The blackouts continue their schedule every single day for about 3 1/2 hours and often longer and more frequently than that. However, we are now looking forward to having our own generator – thanks to the generous help of many of our […]

Licensed to Fly

April 15, 2010

Brian received his license in the mail this week and was able to resume his checkout. The flight we did this week was to a tribal location where the missionaries are not currently living because they are all on furlough. We flew in to check on the condition of their hydro-electric power system and to […]

Organ Transplant in an iMac

April 9, 2010

A few years ago we switched to using Macs for all our computing needs and have never looked back. They have been really reliable and serve our computing needs perfectly. I had a pretty serious scare with our desktop computer a few months ago when we came home from a month-long trip to Luzon to […]

Waffle Iron Fixes a Generator

April 7, 2010

So here I am, typing in the dark using a battery backup for the computer, but tonight we are not sweating like crazy and wishing we were dead. We are basking in the coolness of a nice powerful fan…with the aweful drone of a generator running full throttle in the background. That’s right, a generator! […]

Home Alone-Or Not

April 4, 2010

I experienced something this week…something I never want to experience again yet glad I did because I believe I am truly a missionary now. I’m not very good at telling stories so you’re just going to have to imagine this in your head as I describe what happened and then you can all tell me […]

The Newest Pruett Addition

April 4, 2010

No, we didn’t have the baby yet…but we did get a dog! Her name is Maggie – a two-month old, black lab – and she’s precious! If you know Brian and I at all, you would know how funny it is that we have a dog…and that we actually like her. We don’t have a […]

Passed!

March 30, 2010

Brian passed his check-ride!!! Yesterday (Monday) Brian flew to the nearest city to have his check-ride with the Filipino check-ride pilot. This was his last step in getting his Filipino pilot’s license. As you can imagine, Brian was a bit nervous about this as there were so many unknowns – the pilot was one with […]

Long Lost Pruett Girls

March 18, 2010

I know I have completely failed at keeping you all up to date on the latest in the Pruett girls’ lives and for that I apologize! Here is my attempt to fill you in in the shortest version possible… Maycie is no longer a baby but a little girl and it is so hard to […]

Here’s the Power!

March 17, 2010

Thank you for praying! Within a day of asking for your prayers on our behalf for a generator to use during the power crisis here, a good friend and co-worker of ours responded and offered to lend us his generator for the months we will be without power here. The great thing about this is […]

Where’s the Power?

March 7, 2010

We have lived on Mindanao long enough to understand that the power company is doing their best to keep up with demand and has exceeded our expectations by keeping the power on most of the time. In fact, we were only loosing power maybe once a week for a few hours and that was it. […]
