This is the second day since we returned and I feel like we are in full swing. Nicholas went to San Pedro this morning and picked up the Ford van with its new set of brakes. Looks like it's in good shape now. This afternoon he and Beto are working on the pole assembly that will be used to mount the new 4 1/2 foot diameter satellite. Josh Fellman will be arriving on Sunday and will spend Monday and Tuesday doing that.This noon we sat down with Nicholas and explained all the exciting things that are happening in the ministry, including gearing up to begin manufacturing articles in our vo-tech schools for sale in the United States. We were careful to explain that this is not a short-term project; that it will take a long time to bring it into full swing. However, we do have enough commitment, materials, and expertise to at least get started.Having been gone as long as we were, it's amazing how many things don't work. The chair lift that Cheryl was depending upon because of her foot and knees is out of order; Joel just left my office from trying to fix the printer, unsuccessfully; the water filtration system that Denny and Howard put in is not working; etc. etc. etc. We are going to have to come up with a better system for keeping things in working order while we are gone.Even though there are some frustrations, it is so good to be back. Yesterday I was out at the airport rubbing shoulders with old friends, and as I said, it's so good to be back.
