This week I (Ian) am at EAA Airventure in Oshkosh, Wisconsin with others from MMS to promote the ministry and encourage interest in mission aviation. We are sharing a tent with 17 other missions, most of which use technology such as aircraft, to help speed the spread of the gospel.
We all had the opportunity to share this morning in a local church in the area. I had a good time with the folks at Faith Community.

vacation
We have enjoyed our week of vacation in Pennsylvania. We have been able to visit with family, pick berries, go for walks, do small projects at my parents house, sleep in and eat lots of good food.
It was good to visit with two churches along the way that we have not met until this week. One in Virginia and one in Eastern York county.
The air conditioning in our Suburban stopped working on the way to VA, so I replaced some parts in PA and had it recharged with refrigerant. It worked great for about 10 miles and then stopped. It is confusing as to what is going on.
It will be good to get back to work on Tuesday. At the end of the week I will be attending the EAA Airventure event to share more about MMS to interested folks

Living in the country
One of the aircraft projects that I have been working on involves the installation of an XM weather link to a GPS. During activation of the service yesterday I could see that we were going to get a strong thunderstorm. By the end of the evening there had been so much rain that the creek on our property swelled so much that it rose over our driveway. The culverts couldn't handle the amount of water so it backed up and flooded our barn where the goats, sheep and rabbit were. The only way to them from the house is by the driveway which had 12 inches of water rushing over it. Our neighbors came out to see the flooding on our property and to help us get the animals to safety. One neighbor offered their paddock so we could corral them while another went to get a horse trailer for temporary shelter.
This was plenty of excitement for one day but it was a good opportunity that the Lord brought our way to make a connection with our neighbors.
The water washed some of the stones from our driveway into the yard and of course down the creek on its way to the Tuscarawas River. Now that the water has settled, the creek bank is littered with scraps of wood & logs so there is plenty of clean up to be done.
