In the Air, Leaving, Arriving, Address

About 5 minutes west of our house on the highway out to Pleasantview is a grass field. The grass field normally plays host to powered parachutes and RC planes. One person who flies out there regularly goes to our church. So yesterday, I finally had the inkling to ask about the possibility of a ride before I leave for my time in Germany. So the time was set later in the afternoon to get out there at 6 pm. After preflight and starting, we were off! When I got down from my ride, Mom got to go up!







Here are a couple of movies of the fun we had:



Today is my last full day in the state of Kansas. Bright and early tomorrow morning at 5:30 am, Mom, Dad and I are leaving to go to Indiana and visit Jessica's family. She has been in Nicaragua since early May fulfilling her SST requirements for Goshen. Mom and Dad will stay for a few days and say goodbye to me on Friday and come back to Kansas. I then depart from South Bend on Tuesday morning, the 5th, with a stop in Chicago to meet up with the other trainees in Toronto, where we board a Martinair flight for Amsterdam. Outside of Amsterdam in Elspeet, we have three days of orientation at a Mennonite conference center and then on the 8th we are sent to our placements.

I will enjoy getting mail from anybody. My address in Wintersheim is:
Jon Huber
Haupt. 11
67587 Wintersheim
GERMANY

I will write you if you send me a letter!
