This is a very unusual photo of Dennis. He likes to get his hands dirty. He likes to work on engines. Here he is trying to keep his hands off the engine while instructing 2 LeTourneau students who are replacing a blown cylinder head gasket. It's been fun for everyone this week sharing the "beauty" of the MMS program (an apprenticeship program with a "hands on" approach, while working on "live" aircraft). The airplane they are working on is a 1941 Taylorcraft that was donated to MMS several years ago. This allows our pilots to get more hours of "tail dragger" experience, as well as more hours of less expensive flight time, preparing them for future service with other missionary organizations. Now that I've given you just a little glimpse of Dennis' day, I'm heading out to do errands.Friday, March 20, 2009

Thanks for keeping us updated. I enjoy hearing about your life. I do miss meeting with you each week and hearing it in person though! We love you both! Amy Mathias (and Matt)
Love you also. Gavin looked like such a "big boy" Sunday. How time passes.
