Wow, I have really been delinquent this time! The yard has long ago drained and then flooded again and drained again! Today is sunny and beautiful, and hot! In my defense, I've sorted a huge pile of stuff since I last wrote :).

I thought you might enjoy Kaleb's french-fry tower. It was quite ingenious, though I must say the fries were rather cold before any of us were allowed to enjoy them!

Garry and Ben finished installing the engine last Friday and Ben took it flying. After the flight they discovered a problem with the compression which came from a bad cylinder. A new cylinder is now on its way here from the US, via FedEx express. Since our missionaries are all in town until the airplane is up and flying again we'll be particularly glad to get the cylinder here and installed!

Meanwhile Ben is headed to Manila to pick up the airplane that we worked on in northern Luzon this summer. We are praying for good weather for his return flight as he'll spend quite a few hours over the ocean.

Last weekend we played in another badminton tournament. This is Kevin and his partner. They were leveled higher than anticipated so had several hard games. They did amazingly well, though!

This week we've had the privilege of sharing lunch with several of our missionary friends. It has been good to hear what God is doing in their lives and ministries. It's encouraging to know that God promises to be faithful to complete the work He has started in each of our lives and in His Church! Can you imagine what it will be like when we, His completed bride, stand before Him at last? What a day that will be!
