Back to Town

Well, we are back out in town! There had been so much rain the day before we left Breu that we were wondering how the flight would go, etc. Joy, the missionary pilot, did wait until around noon to get to Breu as the airstrip there was so wet and mushy that she wanted to give it some time to dry out a little. Noon came quickly, though, and before we knew it we were out at the airstrip and loading ourselves into the airplane.

Joy was able to get our broken down washing machine into the airplane with our other items and our dog Blackie was positioned right behind Koleman and I in the second row of seats. Perfect flying weather as everything was super calm. The only unfortunate thing that happened is that about 15 minutes out of Pucallpa Blackie couldn't hold his bowel anymore and stunk up the entire airplane. We had noticed that he had a bit of diarrhea before so I guess that was part of the problem. We were all coughing and hacking and were about ready to puke it all up because of the stench. As soon as we landed here, Joy and Rebecca took Blackie over to a hose and hosed him down. I think Blackie was glad to be out of that airplane, though, as he just raced around there at the hangar once he was all cleaned up.

We praise the Lord for bringing us safely to town and we are already busy getting some buying done for our next stint out in Breu. Thank you for praying!
