I Moved Again...

So it has been a while, hasn't it?

When I left off, I was leaving Thompson for Sioux Lookout. Well, that didn't work out, so I returned to Thompson.

Then I got a new job about a month ago. I'm doing more or less the same thing as I was, but now I'm in Red Lake, Ontario. Isn't that exciting!

So far I'm really enjoying it, this town is really nice!


There's even an airplane in the middle of town!











And just outside of town there's a meteorite crater














And just past that, a Beech 18 that crashed back in the '70s!














And at work, I even get to go flying every now and then!



I like this place.




But, to my friends in Thompson, I miss you all, and I'm sorry I had to leave.

The Next Step

So... If you didn't know it, for many years now I've felt called by God to mission aviation. That's why I went to Prairie, and it's in preparation for that that I work for Perimeter Aviation in Thompson Manitoba.

And now it's time for the next step.

You see, at the moment I'm a ramp attendant; I'm not flying planes. I only marshal, clean, load and de-ice them. I learnt a lot about serving others while doing this, but I didn't spend all that time and money in college just to do this. It's time to take the next step in my career.

It's time to start flying.

Perimeter has offered me a position as First Officer (co-pilot) on the Metro III in Sioux Lookout, Ontario.

I'll be developing skills flying turbine engine aircraft into small isolated communities with small gravel strips. Skills that will be useful as a missionary.

I'm very excited to start flying again, and I'm looking forwards to moving to Sioux, but I'm also sad to leave Thompson. I honestly really enjoyed my time here.

But it's time to move on, and I look forwards to what God will be doing in my life in the future.
