There’s never a dull moment around here – if you haven’t already figured that out. But I’m excited to be able to get this audio update to you so early in the week in spite of the busyness around here.
Peter is over in San Pedro Sula today, tomorrow, and Wednesday doing some video work for an evangelistic team sent there through our mission, Bible Basics International. The ministry is called STAR Teams and they have a little video on the BBI web site explaining the work. I had the privilege of narrating the video last summer. Check it out. Maybe you’d like to participate one of these times. Anyway, with Peter being gone, I’m getting extra opportunities to handle Sunrise Serenade this week as well as other studio work. This morning, when I got to the studio at about 5:30, we did not have any of the digital satellite downloads for the day because one of the wireless access points between buildings locked up. This particular one has a tendency to overheat, so Frederick Henderson had made a fan to cool it and the fan seized up. I found another one just like it and once I cleaned everything up and soldered the wires to the new fan, I could retrieve the files I needed.
Later, I made the cables we need, in order to connect the new AM computer to the new AM control console. I should be able to connect those tomorrow and finally hear the output from that system. The computer for the middle studio is nearly ready to install and then I’ll begin on the hard one – the present on-air computer replacement. Listen to the HRGS Update below to find out why.
All the while this is going on, I have preparations to make for replacing the guy wires and repainting the AM tower over on Utila. We are close to having the parts list ready. I mentioned a while ago that one of our supporting churches gave $3,000 toward that project. It looks like that will cover a large portion of the cost. We don’t have all the figures yet, but I estimate it will cost about another $2,000 beyond what the Lord has already supplied, so please pray that others will get involved. The project is tentatively scheduled for late September.
I mentioned the evangelistic team over in San Pedro Sula. Four members of the team, Travis Mitten, his brother, and two of his nieces will be coming to stay with us next week for several days. So Mildred has been busy making sure things are ship-shape for them. Travis’ wife, Emily, is doing ever so slightly better the past few days, but it’s a roller coaster ride for her with days of abject misery alternating with days of not as abject misery. But she is in good hands at her parents’ house. Unfortunately, it isn’t feasible for so many people to all be under the same roof, so their four girls are staying with their other grandparents who live an hour or two away. Not an ideal situation, but better than it might have been if they didn’t live so close to each other.
Now it’s time for supper. Bedtime, when I’m doing Sunrise Serenade, is 8:30 and that gets here in a hurry if I don’t watch out.
