UEL! Have you ever been filling the fuel tank of your car and
omplained about how much its costing now to actually fill
e tank? Well,when it comes to operating aircraft in the third
orld, FUEL is one of the biggest costs involved. That is why
e are so excited for the Cessna SMA 182. The SMA 182 has
ad the traditional AV-GAS engine removed and a new SMA
esel engine installed in its place. This allows the aircraft to
perate on cheaper and more readily available jet fuel. This
ows us to operate this aircraft at a substantially lower cost!
ith it we can transport a group of 2 or 3 pastors/
issionaries for far less than taking the Cessna 208 Caravan at
nly 1/3 full.
ne of the first things that Rob will be responsible for upon
ur arrival in Madagascar is to unload and reassemble this
ew Aircraft. Right now it is at MAF-US headquarters in
ampa Idaho where it is getting some needed repairs and up-
ades before it is disassembled and loaded into a shipping
ontainer. From Nampa it will be shipped to Madagascar and
ucked to Antananarivo where Rob will be waiting to start
assembling it and getting it certified for service. We are allally excited to be a part of this project and for the service
at this new aircraft will bring to the people of Madagascar.

Putting the Pieces TogetherHave you ever studied a giant pile of puzzle pieces an
without knowing what the picture is supposed to be,
tried to work out what all of the pieces will look like
assembled? We compare learning French to this kind
scenario. Its as though we have 30 pieces to an enor
mous 1000 piece puzzle and were trying to see what
final picture will be. God is teaching us a lot. And we
convinced that our time spent in Quebec City is not l
ited to learning French. He is teaching us humility, coage, patience, and dependence on Him. It shouldnt s
prise us that in
every situation God
wants us to depend
on Him more and
more and to give
Him glory. It is only
when we are walk-
ing in obedience we
begin to experience
joy and peace andwe might even begin to understand part of His divine
plan!
Good-Bye House! We are excited to announce that our hou
has sold! This is a HUGE answer to prayer and a financial re
for us. Thank you SO much for everyone who has kept this i
your prayers. August and September have been busy month
Language class has been a large part of our routine, but we
also had the privilege of seeing beautiful parts of the count
and spending time together as a family. As well, in SeptembRobs mom flew out with another close friend. It was a love
visit.
Besides the normal busyness of life with 4 young children, K
dergarten is in full swing at our house. We fit it in wherever
can. Faith is a very keen learner, and we usually find her wr
lists, or drawing pictures, or cutting and gluing something. H

been our faithful Father providing to us
strength for each part of this journey,
none too soon either--just as we need day
by day. We praise Him for His provision.
And we are promised in His Word to us
that He is the same yesterday today and
forever! As we delight to walk in His will, we are also convinced that He will t
us and mould us and use us for His glory.
We are so thankful for each one of you and the vital part you share in this m
try. Without all of you being with us on this journey, we would not be here to

s much as we can become distracted

mportant to reflect on our path and
member to thank God for what He
as already done, and what He is doing!
2008, shortly after the birth of our first son
e sensed a change was coming. Having no
ea what that change was, we began search-
g. When God laid it on our hearts in the be-
nning of 2009 to see about serving with MAF,
e passion for this ministry began to blossom.
either of us ever saw ourselves serving over-as. In fact, it seemed to be the farthest thing
om our minds! Why would we ever want to
ave life-long friendships, a wonderful church
mily, and our own extended family? Not to
ention the life that we had begun to build
gether in our first couple of years married.
ometimes God's plans are very different from
ur own. Now almost 3 years later, we are
ven more convinced that this is what God

ovide a huge number of team members foris ministry. We have seen Him bring together
