For a few years now, we have been waiting for the timing to be right to make an overnight ministry trip to the village of Tumbang Olong for Easter services. Finally, everything worked out and we were invited to take both airplanes, and all of our MAF pilots and families for Good Friday services. It's always fun to have two airplanes, and all of my pictures for the next few days come from my photo taking colleague, Mr. Rogers. Thanks! In the photo above, he took a picture of me and my family flying off of his port side. Flying floatplanes is fun!
Here is our parking spot for the night. As float plane pilots, you never really relax, even when the airplane is parked. You're always worried about the river level changing, a rope breaking, someone or something running into your airplane, a float being punctured, etc, etc, etc. Thankfully, nothing happened and our airplanes were in great shape when we prepared to return home the following day.
Mr. Rogers and I both were invited to share with the local body of believers. Mr. Rogers shared the night before and then I shared the following morning. It was a great time to hang out with the people and see such a different lifestyle. Our kids did great and had a blast running all over the place, being part of butchering a pig, starting a cooking fire, etc. Life in the village is raw on many levels.
