What a day to start a blog site - Friday the 13th!
Anyway, this is a trial to see how we do with this. We just had some interesting talk time with an IT man. He spoke of all the ways a blog site could be useful in keeping people who know us and care about us and stand beside and behind us, informed on a more regular basis.
So here we go.
I am processing from the office of the one who put us on to this idea in Macha, Zambia. I, David, happen to be on one of our longer flight trips of 6 days and 5 nights. This trip is serving a couple associated with Flying Mission that is based in Macha. I brought in a man and his son who support these people in many ways. They are getting a first hand look at how this couple lives and works in Macha. And, they are seeing how radical a sacrifice they are making to do so. "Wow" and "that is interesting" seem to be the operative phrases.
Part of the time is for learning and understanding and part of the time is for exploring and fun in southern africa. As the pilot, by staying with the group rather than flying back and forth, we save the couple a significant amount. But, it costs family time for me, Sally, EvaLynn and Kathryn. I do get to join in the exploring, learning, and fun, too.
The trip started Thursday with a pick up of the guests at the international airport, Lusaka. Then two days stay at Macha. Tomorrow we fly off to Livingstone and Victoria Falls for some sight seeing and game viewing. The trip will end with a flight back to Macha and on to Lusaka for the guests return to the USA. "If it wasn't for the airplane" I was told, "this could not have been possible".
One of the ways Flying Mission provides support services to missionaries.

Aah, I love blogs (moo). For some reason they really help me feel connected.
You have been tagged. Check my blog for rules, but basically you post 8 random facts about yourself and tag 8 other bloggers. Have fun! I'd love to see EvaLynn or Katherine do the response!
