Day 6 - Things don't always go as planned

To keep things real, Thursday was a tough day in terms of things not going right. Whether it was having the wrong part or the part not fitting correctly, being tired from the daily grind in the heat, differing opinions on how a task should be done, too many guys in a small space in each others' way, etc., life was at full-on, in-your-face tough!  But with God's grace we made it through the day as one body.

God put our team together to come and do some specific tasks. One member of the team thought he really didn't have the skill set for the tasks we would be doing, but was willing to be used in whatever capacity was needed. Thursday morning as four of us were making a flight in SAMAIR's float plane, God had some very specific plans for Jonathan.

Jonathan is a flight instructor at home. One of the SAMAIR pilots, David Speyers, needed to have an Instrument Proficiency Check performed to keep up his certifications. Jonathan had the ability to perform the IPC and sign-off on the certification. This saved SAMAIR $1000.00 due to the fact this task was completed with one hour of air time versus the four to five hours of air time that would have been needed to perform this test. For someone who was willing to come and be a "gofer", God had plans all along for Jonathan to be used as a blessing to SAMAIR.
