On July 11th we hit the road again to see family and friends, many of you, and eventually made our way back to our new home in Arizona on August 11th. During the summer we stayed somewhere in Texas; Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, Atascadero, Davis, Temecula, and Sonora, CA; Eugene, OR; Yakima, Seattle, and Spokane, WA; Coeur d&#8217;Alene and Sandpoint, ID; Kalispell, MT; Palm Springs, CA; Tijuana, Mexico; Page and McNeal, AZ. <\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Our trip was truly incredible as we were able to reconnect with friends we hadn\u2019t seen in years, and we thank all of you who graciously opened your homes to us and made our trip so perfect.<\/p>\n<p>We arrived just in time to begin orientation classes on Monday, the 13th!\u00a0 It felt so good to be out of the car and into our own place again!\u00a0 Now, almost a week later, we are completely moved in and settled and are enjoying being with our NTMA family again.\u00a0 Like I said, orientation began on Monday and will go until Tuesday.\u00a0 We have been going over everything from where to dump your trash and grocery shop to information about all the different mission fields where NTMA is serving and meeting all the staff here in McNeal.\u00a0 It has really been great to have this time to be welcomed and to get acquainted with our new home.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Brian will begin taking a refresher course in maintenance and flight ground school, and eventually start flying in October.\u00a0 Brian is definitely ready to feel at home in an airplane again since he\u2019s been out of them for over two years now!\u00a0 Bailey is going to get the pleasure of taking care of the home and of Brian while he is working.\u00a0 She will also be taking a class from some of the wives here who have been overseas on things from flight following and radio communication to raising children overseas and getting spiritually prepared for the field. The women who are teaching the class were both in the Philippines when Brian was growing up, and one of them is the wife of the pilot who flew for Brian\u2019s parents when they were planting a church in the Batak tribe years ago.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gallery.mac.com\/brian_pruett#100211\" target=\"_blank\">&gt;&gt;Click Here to See a Video of Our Home&lt;&lt;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After over 10,000 miles and 200 hours of driving we finally arrived at our temporary assignment here in Arizona!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":372,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-79","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-family","category-ministry","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/brian-pruett\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/brian-pruett\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/brian-pruett\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/brian-pruett\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/372"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/brian-pruett\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/brian-pruett\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/79\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/brian-pruett\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/brian-pruett\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=79"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/brian-pruett\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=79"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
