Meyerim kids

So, I have been swamped flying this week, but it has been fun.  Yesterday on my first flight to Meyerim, Akwaya, I landed and taxied up to a pretty sizable group of kids.  They greeted me with their usual smiles and "welcome, Pastor Sam..."  But when one of them looked in the back of the plane, he started shouting and cheering.  Soon a bunch of the kids ran to the back of the plane and did the same.  I couldn't figure out what they saw in my cargo that interested them so much.  A few minutes later, one of the men from the village asks me where his school teachers are.  I asked if he meant the two ladies that I flew out a few days ago, and he said that they were the ones.  I told him they were coming on the next flight and that I didn't realize that they were teachers.  I asked if the kids were cheering because they didn't see their teachers in the plane, and he affirmed that that was the reason...so you see kids in the bush of Africa are pretty normal after all!!! 

However, when I did fly their teachers back into the village on the next flight, they gave them a royal welcome that would make anyone happy! 

Pray for the children in Akwaya!!
