From the Helm – Tuesday, October 06, 2009 - (Update on the AMOR/Lori)
It has been an eventful 8 days since the Lori took on water. I am grateful for all the emails expressing concern and prayer support. I am grateful for all who have said they will help in some way. It will be a blessing when the help actually arrives.
The Lori is on land. The repairs will involve approximately 50% of her hull along with the shaft tunnel, some siding and full paint. Her engine has been torn down and was being re-assembled today. The generators are next in line.
I’m grateful to have Pedro and his family onsite. Luiza is in Manaus handling some business relating to the AMOR/Beatriz and Missao Paranorte. She will return to Parintins later this week.
I’m attaching a few photos. Maybe this time they will actually make it… Thank you again for your continue support of the work in the Valley. The AMOR/Lori should be ready to cruise again soon. I look forward to seeing her all dressed up and new again.
God has been gracious in His dealings over the past days. I look forward to the days ahead as my mind and heart become better able to digest the width and depth of it all...
