Our dreams of serving with MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship) in Indonesia are finally becoming a reality. Today was assignment day, a day that I have been sweating and praying over for a LONG time. Today after lunch Mike and I nervously walked into a room and sat down at a table with six people staring at us who had decided the day before where our family would be serving. I held my breath as I heard the words, "We have decided to send you to...(dramatic pause)...Indonesia." There really was a dramatic pause too, I didn't make that part up, it felt like an eternity. That is one of the reasons I love MAF so much, every body seems to have a good sense of humor. I think that if you get in this line of work though, it is a requirement of sorts.
Mike and I will be learning in more depth the details of our assignment in these coming weeks and will be sharing them with you soon. For now here is a sneak peek of what Mike will be doing:
