Beautifying Our Car

No we haven't painted go faster stripes down the side of our forerunner, added any fluffy dice or upgraded our hubcaps....

One of the wonderful/frustrating/interesting parts about living overseas is getting to know the culture, the rules and the faux pas. One of the rules of the road here (well it definitely was a law but no-one is really sure anymore and it's best not to take a chance) is that it is mandatory to have small warning triangles attached to the bumpers of your car. We have duly obtained said triangles and this weekend we attached them, which was a very exciting task in the eyes of our children who's help turned it in to a whole mornings task!

What amuses me most about these triangles (which are supposed to help prevent accidents) is the marketing on the packets, these triangles will:

Beautify your car
Prevent Accidents
Give the rear of your car a new look (whilst this is true I'm not sure it is a selling point!)
They are good for your car

In other news we also put up a hammock, this definitely did enhance our garden!

Becki grew up in Devon and has had a passion for flying ever since her first flying lesson aged 9. She got her Private Pilot's Licence in South Africa before going to Bath University to study physics.

Matt lived in Qatar until he was 12, then went to school in Dorset before studying physics at Bath where he met Becki. They got married in 2008 and moved back to Devon when Becki got a job as an 'eye in the sky' pilot for Pirate FM. Matt has spent the last 4 years teaching science at Holsworthy Community College.

Becki first heard of the amazing work of MAF at Christian Union, in 2005 and quickly decided to become an Area Rep, giving presentations to groups and churches around the South West. She spent a week in Uganda, in 2007 seeing an MAF operation in action and once, she had gained the required fl ying experience, began the application process to become a pilot with MAF. Becki, Matt and Bethan served with MAF in Madagascar from 2014-2016 before returning to the UK for the birth of their second child Luke. Now they are starting out on their second assignment with MAF and will spend the next four years in Chad

As Becki, Matt, Bethan and Luke step out in this challenge, they are looking to build the team of people committed to supporting them prayerfully, financially, or both. Could you be one of them?
