Hello World

I just finished my 4th week here in Waxhaw, NC. What a month! I keeping almost too busy with work and classes.
I spend my days running the CNC router, making parts for our PC-6 cargo pods. Today I working on engraving a placard to be put in the Kodiak while the guys drilled holes in the instrument panel for our fire detection switch/light. (I handed them tools as they crawled underneath the panel). I've also learn how to run the EDM (electric discharge machine). But after my parts where "almost prefect" the machine broke and we are waiting to hear back from a technician.
It's been exciting to hear about all that JAARS and Wycliffe are doing. The stories are just amazing. JAARS is partnering with a few other organizations in the Last Languages Campaign. The goal is to have a bible translation program started in every language by 2025. That's only about 15 years away! Being here and hearing stories of God's work has really given me a new appreciation of God's word. For more information check out http://www.jaars.org/.
The less exciting part of my day is when I come home and work on school work. Classes are going fine but I wish they were over. I just keep reminding myself that in a year I will be glad I took them.
Tomorrow is Saturday. Sometimes Saturday's get a little lonely for me. No one will be around tomorrow so I have to plan things to keep myself busy. Tomorrow I am planning on doing some baking. It's Mrs. Powell's birthday so I'm going to make a pie. I also need to get caught up on some housework, laundry, and the dreaded homework. That should be enough to keep me busy. I am truly enjoying living here...except the humidity.
That's all for now...and seriously check out the JAARS website. I wish I could tell you all about it but I'm sure you'd stop reading before I got done.
