January In A Nutshell

Our first weekend we took off to the Tucson Zoo something we wanted to do last summer but realized its just to hot in Arizona to go.

Our favorite was the Giraffe with his 22 inch tongue. Guess How many Vertebrae Giraffe have in their long neck?

Sam wanted to feed the Giraffe it was his dream and kept talking about it all day and the next couple of days. (He never got to.)

The Kodiak arrives here at New Tribes Aviation

The Family enjoying new computer games and boiled peanuts. Piper and Ace are playing monopoly. A very long night.

Celebrating Gusties 10th Birthday with a cooking party.

Aurora spilled her hot water, (for her Hot Chocolate) on her chest. She had a bad burn. The girls took very good care of her with putting cold cloths on it and with in 3 or 4 hours she was pain free. Today you can hardly tell she was burnt so badly thank you Lord!

Sam being torchured by sisters who love to play dress-up.

Some of our students graduating here at New Tribes. We don't have an official graduation day. We just call a fellowship get together as soon as the Lord calls a family to a certain field. These three families are going to Indonesia.

The Kane family came to visit us. We know them from Missions Training School. Ben got to share at the graduation how long it took for them to get to the tribe they plan on working with. This was a blessing to hear how aviation will help in Indonesia. We sure did enjoyed their short visit. They are returning to Indonesia to finish their language study and then move into a tribe.

And more dress up...
It is so neat to see the big kids playing with the little kids.

Snow Covered Mountains sooooo Beautiful!

Giraffe have 7 vertebrae the same as humans.
