Now Blog This!
Hey all, Biagi here at the Predisan clinic in the fabulous (if not heinously warm) Catacamas! After lunch yesterday we said farewell to the Engineering team as our comrades in Geek-dom rode into the hills to begin their various projects. We spent the rest of the day working on our projects, coming ever closer to our not so distant goal. It is amazing how quickly time has been passing. Yesterday, only the second day of our trip, I realized that today was Wednesday, and that our self imposed deadline was nigh! At dinner we came up with the tentative plan to try to have our software finished and ready to use by Thursday or Friday morning at the very latest. This would give us the rest of Friday to train the staff with the new tool. Since Predisan is closed over the weekend we are hoping to be able to make it out to lend a hand on the various projects the rest of the team is working on. Unfortunately we feel that it will be necessary for our paths to diverge again as we return to Catacamas on Monday, while the Engineers will stay to finish their projects. We are hoping to use Monday to make last minute adjustments and help the staff use the Debut software in their normal environment. So now that we have planned out our week, I look at where we are now, and where we need to be on Friday, and it kind of makes me freak out a little. I am confident, however, that regardless of how much coffee we have to consume, or how many times I will have to pull my face off of my drool-laden keyboard we will meet our deadline and emerge victorious!
On a completely unrelated note I can't describe how nice it is to do something you love in the Lord's service. Engineers and programmers don't often get the opportunity to use their talents for the greater glory of God, and it feels great. I wanted to thank you all for your support, both monetarily and in the time you have invested in your prayers, worries and actions to make this possible for us. Please continue to offer your prayers for our safety and the success of both our projects and our witness.
Thanks again for all the love and support; To God be the glory,
David

I can't begin to tell you just how much it means to us that are back here rooting for you to get these updates. We're tremendously proud of what you are doing, but we still miss you. Thanks so much for keeping us in the loop and letting us feel a part. We know you can do it and that you will (you made all those school deadlines, didn't you!), but now it probably matters to you more than ever before.
On another note, I think it might just be cruel and unusual punishment to keep talking about the wonderful coffee you're drinking. For those of us that really like the stuff, it just brings out a little twinge of envy. I realize I'm wimpy and drink the decaf version, but I can still savor the smell and taste of what I'm supposing you're drinking. It may be a myth, but you are weaving a great tale.
Dick, why don't you see if one of the students would like that extra gas grill we have in the garage? We both could benefit from moving it out and making room for your new motorcycle. Ha.
Keep up the good work, you guys!

I'm just one of your many fans standing by and praying for your success for your efforts to get the job done. Power be the Glory of God and precious peace be with you. L in East Texas
