I'm sure nobody needs to be reminded that there are only 15 days left in 2011! For me 2011 had three main acts: 4 months preparation; 4 months training and orientation and 4 months final preparations. Besides some crazy (safe) flying skills, I learned to be patient, obedient and wholly dependent on God.
Now, 15 days means that I have 25 days before I leave Cape Town! So, for this phase I will not need that much patience, but obedience and dependence will come more into play. I'm sure the patience will be needed again once I'm in Tanzania.
We recently had a MAF stand at the Wings & Wheels Airshow at Ysterplaat Air Force Base. It was a great opportunity to meet new people, see old MAF friends and share with others how we serve God's Kingdom through aviation. Besides talking at churches and men's groups, I had some great opportunities to share at a local primary school, my old high school and the members of SAAF 22 Squadron!
It is funny how the mind works; I have known for a long time that I will be leaving early January, but when I received the official date to report in Arusha, it was as if it all dawned at once. The last week has been an emotional roller-coaster; I am extremely excited to go, but at the same time the reality of leaving is quite scary.
Thank you for the wonderful support in many different ways, I know with your continued prayers and God's provision the move and transition will also go well and soon I will be able to effectively serve in Tanzania.
