Spring update

Greetings my friends,

March is almost half over and we are approaching a quarter of the year being passed. Amazing how time flies. What have I been up to lately? In the past couple months I have worked mostly with setting up and deploying computers and other tech equipment in the Orlando office. I have also participated in training for tech partners overseas through our video system called vidyo.
Video is a growing technology that is just beginning to see its potential in missions and business around the world. I believe video conferencing is going to have a great impact in the coming years. Here are a few examples of the possibilities. Lets say there is a solar panel kit powering a small office in Nigeria. Something goes wrong and the panels cease to give power. Instead of flying an expert out to Nigeria to fix the panels, that expert connects with the team in that office and walks them through steps to fix the panels from the states. If this works multiple thousands of dollars can be saved. A training seminar for national Bible translators discovers their trainer has taken sick and cannot come to lead them. Instead of canceling the seminar and all the effort put into bringing it about; video can be used to connect that trainer or another one from the states. This allows the training seminar to continue and broadens the number of people who can be involved. Some of you are familiar with dedicated video conferencing systems. Some rooms use full wall screens and rooms with the exact same design to give the feel that those in both rooms are in the same room.

As for me personally, I just moved again from Saint Cloud back into Orlando proper. This time I moved mostly by myself and am still organizing my belongings into my abode. I will hopefully finish the move today or tomorrow.
While being in Saint cloud I enjoyed riding my bike to work every once in a while. It is about 13 and a half miles one way, so I enjoyed the exercise. Fortunatley I was able to do this because WA has a shower facility in the visitors RV park. Thus I could ride my bike to work shower and have my work clothes unaffected. Being back does not mean an end to my riding either. There are some routes I am looking forward to ride in the coming weeks.
I am eagerly awaiting my visa for India, which should be arriving soon. My initial trip to India will run from March 29th to April 20th. I will leave you with some pictures from New Delhi were I will be going in India. These pictures are from Google pictures I found while searching New Delhi. I look forward to uploading pictures of my own later.
