This Month at Spokane Turbine Center...

It is hard to believe that it is already June and that another training cycle has begun.  For the next three weeks, 12 mechanics from 4 different mission organizations are here in Spokane for the maintenance specialist course.  This training cycle includes four courses: the PT-6 Comprehensive Overview, the Hot Section Inspection and Line Maintenance, the G1000 Line Maintenance, and the Kodiak Systems.

During this training cycle (June 7-28) , would you join us in prayer for all the missionaries who will be taking the course as well as for the STC staff?  Here are a few specific ways you can lift them up in prayer...

Mechanics:

• Safety for their families at home who are in various places all around the world.
• To retain as much information as they can.
• To apply the information learned during their training to their daily operations at their home bases.

STC Staff:

• To teach and communicate the material and course work clearly.
• To be an encouragement and a support to the mechanics as they learn a lot of new information.
• To continue to stay healthy.

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

"For you formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well."  (Psalm 139:13-14)

Baby Toews is on the way!!  Jeremy and I are excited to meet our precious gift that God is entrusting to us around December 7, 2012!

Psalm 139 has long been one of my favorite chapters of scripture.  Over the past 14 weeks, it has taken on an even deeper meaning and significance for me.  Each week as we read about how our baby is developing, see ultrasounds of little Toews, and learn how the Lord created women to provide the nutrients to sustain this little life in the womb, we are in awe of our Creator!

So far, the pregnancy is going really well.  The doctor had some suspicions about a condition that I might have that often causes premature birth.  In order to confirm that, he and an ultrasound technician have had to do extra ultrasounds.  It turns out that the baby and I are healthy, and because of this whole process, we had multiple opportunities to see our baby!  So fun!  One can't explain seeing the heart beating, watching arms and legs moving around wildly, identifying facial features and bone structures, and witnessing the baby doing somersaults (inside me- crazy!).  We are already proud parents!
