Bob Eldridge, founder of VFCM (radio ministry in Nenana), died tonight from injuries in a heavy equipment accident. Rejoicing in his homecoming and grieving for the loss. Sometimes it's really hard to be an EMT in a small town...

We have enjoyed a little break! After the Alaska State Aviation Trade Show the 1st and 2nd of May we took a little vacation south of Anchorage. Believe it or not it was our first in 14 years of marriage. We had taken the occasional day off when traveling around on deputation in the lower 48 but we had never just disappeared for a week and done nothing. All five of us enjoyed the change of pace and have hit the ground running this week.
Adam made it on the Anchorage news during the Trade Show.

Glad these guys were behind the fence at the Alaska Zoo!
We enjoyed the spring weather and the change of scenery.

More indicators that Spring has made it to Alaska. 1) We had to finish processing all the things stored in the world largest outdoor freezer. No more moose quarters hanging in the shed. 2) I put the screen door on the house. The bugs are waking up. 3) The robins are back along with the geese, swans and cranes.
AWANA is done for another school year. We look forward to the break but we also know that this has been the only exposure some of the kids have to the gospel. Pray with us that the we AWANA leaders will still have the chance to show them Christ love through the Summer.
Natalie says that she is done with training wheels.
The weather is a lot better this day than it was the day before. I was trying to get back home from Anchorage but wound up spending the night with the Thiemes in Houston. If you want to see more pictures of the trip look at the Spot Adventures page.

This is a great piece on friends of our in the bush form a TV station in the lower 48. It gives you a good taste of what life is like in the middle of nowhere!
See where Adam flew today while your surfing the net.

We had a wonderful weekend in Lake Minchumina for Easter! Adam was able to fly a few folks from the surrounding area in for the great time of fellowship and study. The weather was great and it was wonderful to reconnect with folks. It had been too long since we had been able to see many of them.
Just look at all that available runway!
The weather was perfect!
The girls were able to hone their mushing skills.

Sometimes an Ambulance ride turns into something good! Read this story from the local "e-paper" about the baby I helped delivery 4 years ago.

The girls wanted to have a table at this year's Tripod Days bazaar. They ran the whole show with very little of our help. They used money from their own savings. $30 a piece net profit so far but they mentioned that they want to see if Marylin at Coghill's might want to buy there overstock. So the final total is not in yet.... Homeschool Capitalist, Dave Ramsey would be proud! Update, total earnings were $52 a piece!

I was recently interviewed by Matt Miller of KTOO in Juneau. He wanted to know how the shutdown of the Loran system would affect Alaskan aviation. Listen to the interview

We just received word that The Master's Mission is going to start taking 5% of our total support as an administrative fee. We are waiting for the official letter to know all the details, we will update you when we know more.

After many hours Rob Bennett and I (mainly Rob) got the city of Nenana's track rig running. It had two stuck valves, needed a rebuild on the carburetor and a lot of electrical work. So now I can use it instead of our pick-up to pull my drag and maintain the ski strip at the airport. This really helps keep a smooth runway and saves a lot of wear and tear on our airplane.

What a year 2009 was. I (Adam) just read through all of the updates from last year and was reminded of how good God is. The website was down for a few weeks so we haven't been able to get an update out to a lot of you about my check up in Seattle. The Doctors were very pleased by my recovery; Doc says I am as healthy and as strong as a horse. So I asked him, Clydesdale or the "Old Gray Mare"? He just laughed and didn't answer. So I told one of his residents; I'm worried, what does that mean? The resident didn't get the joke and fell all over himself trying to reassure me that I was going to be OK. They are a little puzzled by my swallowing issues but that is being managed by medication for now. Apparently I am allergic to something and my esophagus won't allow food to pass very easily.
My Mom, Dad and Sister were able to be here for Christmas this year. It had been nine years since we have been able to do that, it was a lot of fun to have them here. Lyndy and the girls took a week off from doing school for Christmas break and are back to the routine again.
With the days getting longer now I am planning several trips to visit friends in the bush this month. Look for pictures and updates here and on Facebook.
As a result of the website being down from Dec 15th through Jan 5th we did not get any e-mail from the "@thewhitepagesonline.com" addresses you may have used. If you sent us any e-mail using those addresses please resend it. Our gmail addresses were not effected by the website being down.
