It's a warm one

It's a warm one today--if you're standing out in the sun. Get in the shade and feel the breeze and it's nice. The equatorial sun can really get to you. I can only imagine what it's like out in the jungle. If I was a pilot I know I'd come home drenched every afternoon after loading and unloading my plane. Mike just flew in with a patient on his way to HCJB's hospital. He'd been using a chain saw and it kicked back and cut him across his shoulder and neck.

I posted something in here yesterday that I just noticed isn't here. Wonder what happened? Anyway, the Health Ministry pays for the Air Ambulance flights. As of a couple weeks ago they were almost $30,000 behind in payments to MAF. They said they had exhausted their budget, so we weren't sure when we'd see the money. Thankfully they managed to get some money from another source and write MAF a couple checks. We're praying they'll have money for the AA flights for the remainder of the year. Much of MAF's ministry in Ecuador revolves around these flights of mercy.
