Wow, what has been crazy 5 months is now coming to an end and we're getting married in one week! I have been the only C206 pilot in the north since October which meant I have been doing clinic outreach at least 3 days every week plus whatever charter work came around. Additionally, over the last months we have now started to move forward with the implementation of the new structure for the MAF Tanzania program.
The details are complicated, but after months of uncertainty, we now know that a small program will continue from Arusha and we will be part of that for at least 2 years. This has added a lot to my work load over the last months, as the only one up here, I have been starting the processes for the new office and operations setup. Please pray for the many logistical challenges during this time of transition, it will take careful planing to provide uninterrupted services. The program as it has been will close on 31 May. After everyone has resettled, we will be a small program with a main base and two pilots in Arusha, a sub base with a partnership plane and pilot in Mbeya (Southwest) and a plane in Dar es Salaam that will be flown by pilots commuting from the other bases.
We will get back to all that in 5 weeks, the focus for me from now until the beginning of July is to get to South Africa, get married to my beautiful fiancee, go on honeymoon and have a couple weeks of rest.
Thank you for all your support and prayers during this time, with all the work challenges and our time apart. The time has really flown by and the energy to endure has been an answer to prayers. We will update you on the wedding, Amelia's (http://www.milliemusictz.blogspot.com) time in the US and our future plans, please continue to pray for us for the time a change ahead.
