April 6, 2010 – 6:49am – Tuesday (Haiti time)- Titusville, FL – Report submitted by Joe Hurston (Air Mobile Joe)

Today – Post mission inspection on the aircraft. After every Haiti flight, our team meets to do a thorough inspection on the aircraft. It’s very assuring and a pleasure to fly a bird that is maintained so well. This last mission to Haiti went very well. Remember, I mentioned last week that front engine is using less oil? Well, it was confirmed on this last flight. There is a truth to all of this. We function best when we are utilized as designed. The airplane, like us, does not like to sit and not be used. The more the bird flies, the better it seems to fly. Likewise, as we are used by our Lord in His service more and more, there comes a joy and we actually function better as we walker closer and closer to Jesus each day. Yesterday, I tried to get a little rest, but that phone of mine just kept ringing and yes, I answered it every time. Cindy tells me that I only have myself to blame for the intense schedule I keep. I tell her, “she is like the pot calling the kettle black”. She does the same thing! Pray that we both learn to back off a little bit and rest as needed. However, with the depth of destruction, despair and need in Haiti, it is difficult. Will write more later today.

God Bless and thanks for bearing with my ramblings this morning.
