From the logbook...Christmas tidings

Today I was back in the saddle after 2 weeks of not flying. It was a good time, and the purpose was a little different as well. I flew a Finish family to the communities of Cumai (CUM) and Karink (KAR). This guy used to fly for MAF in Shell, but then felt led of the Lord to do more evangelical work amongst the indigenous people of the Ecuadorian jungle. He and his wife are currently living in Quito, but spend many weeks at a time in Cumai building a house so they can live there permanently. It is always a pleasure to fly this family, as their hearts and their sense of humor are both as big as the jungle they serve in. Today they flew into these two communities to offer the kids some Christmas presents, little sacks of cookies and candy.

Here they can be seen carrying the boxes of Xmas goodies and being trailed by a bunch of expectant children.

This is a shot from the second village we went to called Karink. I took this photo from their new 3 story high water tower. The village was really proud of it and anxious to show it off.
