Furlough has
flown by (pun intended) and I am headed back to Uganda
today. Unfortunately, things went a bit crazy with
flight connections, so I’m staying in Detroit for the
night and will continue the journey tomorrow. I’m sure
God has His reasons! Amy and the kids are spending a
bit more time with family in Ohio while I return to
work. Amy will return on August 10th with
her mom and a friend who will be doing a missions
internship. While I will miss Amy and the kids I am
looking forward to getting back to flying. Please
continue to pray for Amy as she continues to fight an
infection that the doctors seem to be having trouble
figuring out what it is. Amy & I were able to spend a
vacation with Amy’s family in Gatlinburg TN this past
week which was a real blessing.
Once I return
to Uganda, I’ll start paperwork to renew my Ugandan
license. It will probably take a couple weeks for this
paperwork to be completed. Then I’ll be busy with Base
Checks and Route Checks. This is standard training that
we take 2-3 times a year to make sure that we are at the
top of our game. Finally, I’ll start regular flying!
I’m looking forward to getting back into flying and
maintenance. MAF in Uganda has been expanding
significantly, so I will be quite busy when I return.
Thank you to
each of you who have donated towards a vehicle for us in
Uganda. I’ll be starting the search for a good used
vehicle when I return. Please pray that God would
direct us to a reliable vehicle that will serve us for
many years to come with few problems. After the history
of our last two cars we are a bit anxious about the next
one.
As we return
to Uganda, we have a new computer and new communication
capabilities. We are on Skype now so if you have Skype
you can call us for free!! We are under Dave and Amy
Rogers with a username of dave.amy.rogers. We are also
on Facebook with pictures of the family, so please feel
free to look us up. You can find us on Facebook under
the name of Dave Rogers. Please bear with us if African
internet does not work “as advertised!” Thank you again
for your faithful support and prayers. Blessings!
