Yesterday was a first for the Hand clan.  We took a short spin in a chopper!  Shannon and the girls went up and then Toby and I rode next.  Very cool!

It’s amazing how different your house and office look from the air!  And I thought Minnesota was the land o lakes but we are literally surrounded by water around here.  You just never realize it until you see the perspective from the air.

The copter came from JAARS and has been on site all weekend right behind our neighborhood at Wycliffe Bible Translators’ USA Headquarters.  They are having a major celebration this weekend called the Last Languages Campaign.  Wycliffe, Campus Crusade and JAARS all partner together on Bible translation and visual story learning projects.
