It’s Tuesday night and I am sitting at home while Autumn is out grocery shopping. She is such a great wife. I have my Orals and Practicals coming up on Friday, and she knows I am a little stressed out.
Orals and Practicals, or O’s and P’s as they are known for short, are 12 to 18 hours of questions and practical assignments given to me from an FAA Examiner who is judging whether or not I know what I am doing as a mechanic. It is the first step to take in the final process of obtaining my Airframe and Powerplant certificate upon graduation. After passing these, and my final exams at the end of the semester, I will take ‘the writtens’ which consist of 3 written tests over three different maintenance subjects. On top of that, Autumn and I are still not sure what we are doing after graduation… so I am a little stressed out.
The good news is that we have received our application to Africa Inland Mission and once I catch my breath we’ll begin to start that process! Even better news is that we have been accepted to attend the AIM Candidacy Week in the beginning of June! God is bringing all that together, and it is fun to watch Him direct our steps! If everything goes well at Candidacy Week we will be official AIM Missionaries, then we can continue the AIM Air application and training. Autumn and I are so thankful for all the prayers we have received in this department and we are certain that God is listening!
Now… time to get back to the books and relieve some of this stress.
