Here we are in our second round of Tech Tips! We have been covering things like making and using a snake bite zapper {I was able to zap Billy...a couple of times :) }, AC Transformers, Inverters, Water Filtration, How to covert 240 v. to 140 v., How to protect our equipment on the field, and tons and tons of other information that will be helpful when we get on the field.
Friday we were able to go on a "Field Trip" down to the shop where we learned how to properly convert and adjust a propane stove. Here are some pics from the field trip!
Ernest explaining how to convert a stove from Natural Gas to Propane
The flame in the back shows us a bad flame that needs adjusting and the front one is perfect
This is a manometer...this is the $6.00 tool that we need to help us adjust our stove.
Just add water to it and hook it up to the orifice.
This is me hooking it up to the stove
By slowly turning on the burner the propane pushes the water...the number we want the water on is 11 1/2 on the top right side and 11 1/2 on the bottom left side.
Checking the levels
Bill adjusting the regulator with a screwdriver. If the water isn't at those numbers we need to adjust the pressure.
Here we are 'disguising' the levels!
Ernest doing what he does best...talking about tools!
And what girls do when they get board of tool talk...
playing with the tools
and just looking cute pregnant!
Some other news...
In the midst of February Bill was invited out snowmobiling one day. This came at a good time. We were in the middle of some very challenging classes for us and he spent the month working on our vehicle...this was just what he needed!
Update on our Nissan Xterra!
Bill was able to get it apart and put back together twice! After he got it put together the first time with all the repairs they hooked it up to a computer and it showed that a sensor was bad...UGH!
So he took it apart again and replaced the sensor and alas...she's working great now!
We would like to thank those who gave above and beyond toward this. We are so grateful and appreciative for you...God has met this large financial need. As we look ahead and prepare to go to Papua New Guinea we rest in His faithfulness, His timing and that nothing is IMPOSSIBLE for Him! Bill has figured out the total of expenses for the parts and it was $1900.00 {Canadian} the total that was given toward this was $1500.00 American...after the conversion to Canada it came up to $1870
This is the piece of silicone {compared to a quarter} that he found in the head blocking the antifreeze.
The boys were pretty excited about going to Snow Camp with their Youth Group. With the expenses that we had from our vehicle we wondered how to come up with the cost of the trip {$80 each}...when two different people from the church that their Youth Group is generously paid their way! God is so good and continues to show the boys that He cares about all the details in our lives.
They say kids grow overnight...Garrett and Bill were in the kitchen side by side and I couldn't resist getting a pic. at their height difference.
Garrett is quite proud of his height!

My uncle was a missionary in Papua New Guiana for 20 yrs. I wonder if you heard of Fr Henry Einhaus?
Thanks
