Fuel, Frustration, and Felicity

13 November 2009 by Lawrence and Jodie

[singlepic id=14 w=320 h=240 float=]Finally, after much prayer and impatience, our fuel order arrived.  Thank you Lord.  We quickly stored each red barrel.  As you can see, no heavy equipment here–just push it off the back of the truck (yikes!)  Although the barrels get “beat up”, we are thankful none of them broke.  I guess you could say we now have gas.

There are other red items besides barrels.  How about “red tape.”  The continuing saga of my mechanic and pilots license seems to elicit extreme frustration.  Although the forms have been turned in and all written tests taken for my mechanic and pilot tests, we still have not seen the progress we were hoping for.  Apparently, the flight department in the capital city has “lost” my written pilot tests.  After much talking, the only solution seems to be to take another trip to the capital city to take them again.  We are at our wits end because a trip like this is just way out of budget, especially with our visa renewals coming due next month.  Yet, if I dont go and take them again, it could be months before a flight test is scheduled and I actually have my pilots license.

Finally, we did receive news that the mechanic tests have been passed and are currently being processed.  I need to have my mechanics license in hand before the end of the year.  Please pray for quick processing again.

(Note, if you haven’t heard – Jodie has made a complete recovery)

Praise! – no vehicle issues during 3 months of travel

An incredible answer to prayer, no vehicle problems or flats even after 11,000 miles of travel. Wow. Thank you Lord!
