CHAD U206 GETTING READY FOR FAA


This has been an interesting day. My day at MMS began pretty much in the normal manner with collating and paying MMS bills. By 10:00am all MMS personnel met for a bi-weekly time of sharing of ideas, and a time of exploring a vision for the future. Being, by nature, a task-oriented, single focus individual I must admit it has been a bit of a challenge for me to "warm up" to times that would take me away from my structured accounting day. Now, I see it as a valuable time of exchanging information and "hearing" the heart of each of the individuals here at MMS. There is such a wonderful blend of personalities and backgrounds here - perhaps just for this very moment in time. By 11:00 we were attending a funeral (homecoming celebration) for the mother of a very dear friend of ours. It was a time of reflecting on special memories of a life lived, loving the Lord and her family. At 1:00 it was time for our monthly Senior Management Team Meeting, a time to review what is happening at MMS and what needs to happen from the management level. A little after 3:00 I was back to paying bills, talking to the auditor and once the day at MMS was finished, working on Facebook (thanks Karen for all your help), trying out some new ideas and even talking to a friend who called me for advice on buying a horse saddle. Meanwhile - in the hangar progress was being made on several aircraft. The U206 shown above has been a long-term restoration and repair project. In a few weeks the FAA will be here to inspect the work that has been done. Once the plane is finished, it will be crated up and shipped to So Africa to be used in missions service. What a day - in all things may God be glorified!
