January 19, 2011 – Wednesday – 7:01am (Eastern U.S. Time) Cocoa, FL -Report submitted by Air Mobile Joe
Up early this morning and just trying to take it all in. Yes, it’s kind of like waking up in paradise. Sitting here enjoying a delicious cup of coffee. Again, can’t give any details of this wonderful home until the show airs on February 13th, but suffice it to say – IT IS AMAZING!
Yesterday, I was continuing to enter back into reality. Bill Dunklee (more about Bill Dunklee later) and I were able to fly our mission aircraft, Ti Burik, over to the shop that will be installing the extended range fuel tanks. Also, I would like to tell you a bit about this shop. The ABC folks went into a phone book and “randomly” picked a shop to do the avionics and fuel tank work. Little did they know, that John Webb, the owner of Orlando Aircraft Services, has been doing all of our avionics work since 1982!! Folks, there are hundreds of shops ABC could have chosen. They had no idea. However…..we know Who was behind their choice.
Not only that, Orlando Aircraft Services, donated HUNDREDS of man-hours installing our beautiful “Glass Cockpit”. Yesterday, I was able to thank each and every person who worked on our aircraft and will continue to get this great little aircraft back in the air. It was a precious meeting. I would like to give a very special thanks to John and Troy and all of their crew for, first of all agreeing to do this wonderful work and continuing to get our aircraft into shape to do GREATER service for our Lord! Truly, we will be able to fly further and go deeper into our life-saving mission of bringing clean water to desperate people!
Speaking of….Haiti is still teetering on the edge. After questioning by the Authorities, Jean Claude Duvalier was released but charges will like be pressed. Things are still relatively calm, but we know how quickly that can change. Spoke with Barbara several times throughout the day and all is safe in the “Village”. We continue to pray and plan our next mission.
We may be sending some Rescuers half way around the world, details are unfolding today. Please pray our Lord guides and directs each step of the way. Will tell more later. Well, it’s time to get on with this wonderful day that our Lord has made! Rejoice and be glad in it! We love you and THANK YOU for your prayers, love and support!!
