Nan's First Flight Flying...


So in order to be the new wife of a pilot one must learn the basics... Not just learning the basics of marriage, but the basics of being a pilot. I had the most wonderful instructor for my first flight, Mr. William Donald Grant.

We took off on our first flight on a gorgeous sunny day, a "clear and a million day" in pilot jargon! I took off, although it seemed like I was in control, my hubby (in the right seat) was talking me safely through my first experience. I "lost my engine" on the first flight... and yes, I panicked! But, my wonderful instructor calmly brought us down onto a nice green pasture in La Center, Washington. It was truly an exhilarating flight and I look forward to when I will be able to solo ;) In quite a while of course!

Please pray for us as we continue to grow stronger together in Christ. We are praying for God's clear direction in our lives as to our next steps...

We will be back soon to update further about what God is doing in our lives...
