First session completed



Hi everyone,
It is amazing to think that in my last report  I was sharing about my first month in college and now I am about to complete the third month. How quickly time passes!

    
One of my first classes, non-destructive testing methods.


I have the privilege and joy to tell you that last week I completed the first part of my studies. The entire course is divided into three parts, the first is the shortest, two and a half months, but they are months in which you realize and decide if you can continue with the other 10 months.


These months were hard, alot of studying, almost all theory and sometimes it becomes boring when you are looking at just four walls and 23 students for almost 8 hours a day. I thank God for your support and all who have supported me, prayed and communicated to me words of encouragement.
10 classes completed for a total of 400 hours.


Now we have the basis for this work, we will begin the second part, it will be a little long, almost 5 months and we hope we have a little more of excitement, it will be more of hands on and practice in the hangar, with more contact with the aircraft. This does not mean that everything will be easier, we must always be responsible and devote enough time to study before executing any task. So once again I ask for your support the prayer, at the end of the five months I will present two tests for the first license, there are two. I will have to demonstrate what I have learned since the beginning of the course.
Ground Operations, for many something new.
It was very refreshing, I recalled my first flying lessons

Not everything is "roses's color" as we say in Colombia, these two months have been a time of joy to see dreams fulfilled and see the support of family, friends and brothers, it has been a time of little sleep and learn to organize time the best way, try to keep my daily time with God, implement cooking skills, learn a new language, (mechanic) it has many new terms to me. Also growing in faith, trusting God for the daily provisions, make contacts with Hispanic friends in the area, (this has been a great blessing), feeling a little lonely to know that my family is far away and I have no vacation soon. In the mist of all these circumstances, God has always been there.

The greatest enemy's attack has been doubt, not believing what God began to do, when these difficult times come I have to remember that the Creator has always been there.

This week God reminded me how all these circumstances are merely a sample of something big "spiritually" that is coming. When there are attacks, it is because the enemy knows what's going to happen and he wants to tear that plan to defeat us and so we do not give God the glory.

One more time I thank you for your support during these almost three months of study. Each one of you has been a great blessing to me.

Prayer requests:

  • Remember Sandy storm victims especially in New York and New Jersey.
  • Elections for the U.S. president.
  • I'm behind on a payment for this semester, and provision for next semester.
  • My family, the presentation of the thesis of my brothers Jhonny and Jeferson..
  • Needing set of tools.
