L. Tim, Terry & Brenda, R. Bob, Barb Wenda

We left Kamloops Saturday Feb. 7 with a fun send off brekafast from off from our good friends.

We are so thankful for all the friends we have that are supporting us in so many many ways. We are blessed!!

Our awesome neighbors gave us a ride to the bus depot., and we on our way to a third Angolan adventure. We over-nighted in Vancouver and then off on our flight to London, Johannesburg, and Windhoek. We were blessed with good flights, good seats, and only 4 hr layovers in both London and Joburg. We arrived in Windhoek with all our luggage tired and happy to stop traveling for a day. We had a great dinner out and a visit with Dagmar a friend at the guest house in Windhoek who we had met on other trips in and out before. By 9:30 the next morning we were off to the airport. When we arrived we were relieved to hear we could take all of our boxes in with us (for a slight extra fee) as there was enough extra space. That afternoon we made our final destination of Lubango and under Bassilio's careful guidance cleared customs with out a hitch. Off to the compound (Mitcha) to settle into our usual house and to enjoy a welcome supper with the pilot Brent....he is a great cook.

This is the Radome, it houses the weather radar antenna. We were able to get the repaired antenna and display installed and funtioning. Pilots are very happy to have it available when flying during the rainy season with all of the thunderstorms. Most of the parts that we had ordered last Fall have arrived and we have been doing repairs and replacing parts on the days when the airplane isn't flying. We were thankful for the hangar today as it was raining heavily while we worked on the plane.

Driving in the city has been a challenge, I came home to wait it out after trying to get to the airport for over an hour. Several streets are blocked for "repairs" and a very large truck had gotten stuck at the river crossing closing it for most of two days. I likened it to dancing in highschool, no real pattern, people moving around trying not to run into each other. Unfortunately the moving around part just stops and you sit.....and sit..........and sit.........until somewhere sombody's vehicle is able to move ahead a little bit and then it starts all over again.

We have had trouble downloading pictures for the our blog so we will send this one for now and try to send afew more later.

Prayer request for:

Safety for the pilots in this season of thunder storms.

Brent and Tim's visa's that they will arrive soon

Barb as she trains new house help who does not understand English.
