Happy Thanksgiving. We're all

Happy Thanksgiving. We're all working here, as Thanksgiving is a U.S. holiday and tradition. Tonight many of the missionaries will be getting together for a dinner at the HCJB guesthouse. But for now, it's business as usual. Dave is taking off right now with a missionary family and his parents who are visiting. They're heading out for a visit to a jungle village for the day. Fred was off before 8 AM taking some U.S. visitors out to the jungle. And Bruce will be off the ground soon. Not sure what he's doing or where he's headed.

The power went off sometime around 6 AM. I came over to turn off an extra server and a couple computers so they wouldn't have to run too long on the UPS (uninteruptable power supply). Soon after that Ron came over and started the diesel generator on the base and also the generator her at the hangar. Before 8:30 the power was back on and the generators were off.

I'm going to spend the day working on some web pages for the MAF program here in Shell. I also need to finish transitioning files from the old Windows NT server to the new Windows 2000 server. In addition, Bruce needs some help with his supporting mailing list, as he wants to know how to attach photos. Miriam, an e-mail user who works for HCJB doing community health work in the jungle, also needs me to help her with sending photos as attachments. Digital camera and web pages are great tools for staying in touch with the family, friends, and supporters in the home country.
