Tyler and three other students in Standardization left yesterday morning (Monday) for 4 days of back country Idaho flying! I did get to hear from him this afternoon, and it sounds like they are having a great time learning new skills and appreciating the beauty of Idaho mountains. While it may sound like they are "roughing it", they actually get to stay as guests at a ranch house and enjoy the stillness of the mountains around them.
So....while they are away, we women are holding down the fort with our kiddos. This is our last week of swim lessons for Caleb and Aaron. Aaron is fighting a cough and both him and Jocelyn had eye infections requiring eye drops. Despite some not so restful nights, we are keeping busy with our swim lessons, today we visited a Wildlife Refugee in Nampa, and tomorrow we'll complete our last swim lesson followed by a picnic with our friends from swimming. Of course we are also enjoying sweet fellowship just as wives and the bond that is created from depending on each other when our husbands aren't around.
The guys should get back on Thursday, and on Friday we all begin Orientation classes for the next two weeks. After we finish that training, we'll move out of this apartment and in with Tyler's parents. Then it's time to "wade through our stuff" and focus entirely on packing.
Speaking of...a few people have asked us if we have a list of physical needs that they can help with as we prepare to go to Indonesia. We have put together an Indonesia Wish List on Amazon, and you can view it here if you are interested in helping in that way:

If you have any questions about the list or other needs we have, feel free to contact us!
Pray that we would make good decisions about what will really be useful and stand up to hard use in a 3rd world country.
God is good, we are thankful that He is in control of every situation around us. Be encouraged!
