Monkeys are theives, don't let anyone tell you otherwise...

The past two weeks have been great. We finished out the SOLO course and received our Wilderness First Responder certification, so now I can save your life if I find you in the woods with a broken leg. So that’s a good thing. It was an incredible course that I will be following up with the EMT course in New Hampshire in January. We ate a great breakfast at the 3 star hotel in town this past Sunday which involved four plates of food and a monkey stealing my toast.

This week we began the welding course and the GPS navigation course and both are a lot of fun. We spend our mornings in the warehouse welding things together and then come back after lunch and spend the afternoon running around getting coordinate points and plotting a route on the GPS. So life is good. Tomorrow will mark the point one month from my return to the states. I’m so very glad I’ve been able to do this program and thank you again to all of those who have supported me and are continuing to support me with your prayers. I know this is short but dinner is about to be served and I certainly don’t want to be late for that.
