1 down, 2 to go, training courses that is. I’ve been in Spokane, Washington for the last week getting all up to date on one of the two types of engines that I will see in Angola. You really can't beat the student to teacher ratio of 2:1 that we had, and because of that, I got to know my fellow classmate/roommate Dan, and instructor Ken quite well. It has been a very worthwhile course, and am especially thankful for the opportunity to be a part of it.

Thankfully, it has been a week that has felt relaxing in a way because there was nothing to pack up here, and no arrangements to make with international shippers. The past month has been easily the busiest in my life. Of course no one said packing up your family and moving to another continent would be easy, but I’m fairly sure now that the dreaded part of determining logistics is now in the past.

 Next week I’ll be in Germany, and then France the week after that (that’s training courses #2 and #3 for those keeping track), then it will be back to Canada for 2 days before we make the big move.

 In the meantime, here’s a couple pictures of my time in Spokane (including one of the “Africa Lounge”, where I figured would be an appropriate spot to sit down and write this out). Thanks to all those who have kept us in your prayers. There is so much that is out of our control, it’s amazing to see how well thing have gone so far. Stay tuned though if you would like to keep hearing what’s going on with us, the adventure part is just beginning!
