We made it to United Christians International (UCI), our destination. We spent most of the day traveling. The highlight, which I thought would be the terror, of the day was taking a prop plane with MFI and land in a field near where we are staying. I’ve been dreading this for a month. The good news is it was so great. I think we all agreed it was awesome. So smooth, landing was perfect, no issues at all, better than a large commercial flight.
Now we are here and so happy. We got to love on a few kids when school got out. It took the kids a minute to warm up to us. But it didn’t take long before they were asking Carl about his ear piercings, playing with Chuck’s flint to make fire and taking pictures with everyone else.
JeanJean took us on a tour. They never stop thinking. You can tell they’re always coming up with new ideas. They are currently working on a fish farm. We saw all the beautiful changes to the university. We also saw the new high school, which is already growing with another building to add on.
The food was as amazing as I remember it. . .yum. I guess I’ll leave it at that with a BIG smile. Janell
So glad the MFI flight went well. I have never taken it so it’s good to know. Praying for you all to stay healthy and experiment Gods love this week.
I’m so glad to hear that your flight was a smooth one. I wish I was there to experience it with all of you. Have a great time, and watch out for those Witch Doctors.
I haven’t made that landing, only taken off from there, which is also fun. Glad it was all seamless, you are the first team to use MFI with Healing Nations, even though we know groups who have used them for years.
Btw, the full name of the student you guys have been sending through college with previous project funds is Djenika Mondesir in case I didn’t tell you her last name before. She will need someone with computer savvy to set that thing up, it’s new out of the box, with a card to download Office as well. I’m sure Jean Jean will know who to connect her with. Make sure you get a picture with her for us!
Djenika received the laptop the first day and found help setting it up. She was so happy. I took a picture to text you when I get home. She said thank you, thank you.
So glad you guys made it there safely! I can’t wait to hear about your experiences.Thank you for being a part of what God is doing at UCI and Alpine Church. Praying for you all.
Janell, I’m so glad God answered the flight prayers! And I just caught up with the last few days of posts. It sounds like it’s been a fantastic trip already. So glad God opened doors and made it happen this year.
Thanks. Me too. :) I forgot how much I needed this.
