This week was the Methodist church's mission train, a week long mission revival. We went three times. Choo Choo!! The 2009 Mission Train chugged through Eleuthera this past week.
It’s basically a revival at each of the 4 churches in central Eleuthera.
Overlapping on the weekend was our biannual Fly-In and Help Out event.
We had 20 volunteers come in, most of whom were pilots.
Thursday they arrived, Friday and half day Saturday they worked on Mrs. Bertha Petty and Charlie’s houses, tourists on Saturday afternoon and out on Sunday morning.
A whirlwind.
The Baron came down with the group!
I got to fly it on Friday as we went to Cat Island, about 30 min/50 nm away, then to Norman’s Cay (pronounced: key) where you can only get there by small airplane or boat and there are the world’s best conch fritters you’ll ever find, and finally back home to Governor’s Harbour.
Fun.
It’s a whole lot o’ airplane, but once I get a little booster seat and some practice via Steve, I will be ready.
Quick story on the Baron:
Dr. Quinn of Charleston heard about us, Bahamas Habitat, through
AOPA magazine.
Called on Monday about two weeks ago asking if we would accept the airplane as a complete donation and by Friday the airplane was titled in our name: Incredible blessing and completely a work of God.
We are grateful and are right now deciding how to best be stewards of this gift and opportunity.
One of the pilots brought down some supplies for us. Among the loot we were given pots and pans. Reference the story about my burned rice and how hilarious the Filipinos thought it was and you’ll know how excited I was to get pots for personal use.
Internet is fickle with power surges on the island. More to come soon.
Peace.
Do we need to send you a booster seat? I'm sure there is one in our garage or on the stage at Wesley :)
