This is the blog for Gavin and Carrie Jones and family. We live in Papua New Guinea and are working to see lives transformed by the living Word of God through Bible translation. Gavin is a helicopter pilot. Carrie, who has her degree in Public Health, works in the lab at our busy rural clinic. Our son, Isaac, was born in 2004 and our quintuplets, Will, David, Marcie, Seth, and Grace, were born in 2012.

Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. The you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight. -Proverbs 3:3-6

CFI In Hand!

Thanks for all your prayers!

The drive up to the Raleigh area yesterday went well.  The weather was decent enough to get some good full-touchdown autorotation training in this morning.  The checkride oral exam and flight test all went very smoothly and I'm now a Certified Helicopter Flight Instructor!

A nice thing about this is that in the process, my airplane flight instructor license, which I let expire several years ago, is now reinstated and current.  With a little recurrent training I can get back into that as well, if needed.

The trip home was good and it's nice to be back with the family.  Carrie's finding that single parenting is a mite bit harder than it was a few months ago, given her energy level.

Again, I appreciate so much all your thoughts and prayers.  The process went smoother than I expected it to.
