It's a full house

It's a full house this morning. We had five planes in the hangar last night. Lately it's been just three, as one has been in Sucua and two up in Quito. Brian is down from Quito for the week to fly out of Shell. Darryl came up from Sucua yesterday to do some flying here. Today he's going out with Brian to get him up to speed on some of the s. Dave is flying and so is Bruce, so that give us three planes in the air today. On top of that, the weather is great. Mike pulled in from Quito at 8:30 AM, so that meant he left by 7:30, with passengers. That's an early start. We've actually got all six Ecuador planes on the ground in Shell right now. Make that five--Bruce just lifted off. We've got two planes in the hangar right now. One just had an oil change and should be out of here today. The other is waiting for a prop.

It was neat to stand in the circle and pray. It was a big group, and Elsa prayed in her native Shuar tongue. Listening to her pray brought to mind that MAF has been flying missionaries to work with her tribe for over fifty years. They now have the New Testament in their language, and an Old Testament synopsis is in the works. MAF regularly flies Shuar translators to Makuma so they can work together on this translation.
