Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from Cameroon a few days early (better than a few days late)! 

Here are a few pictures of what we have been doing this month...

 Kids playing with "snow" sent to us from Iowa!

Testing the camera for family pictures!

 ...our best Christmas gifts from God!

Flying to Amanavil, Akwaya to drop off supplies for a new bridge.  Bro Tom is starting a church and the river is often too high to cross during rainy season.  Also, pray for a dental evangelism outreach there in February.

Ladies' meeting of fellowship churches at the lake in Bambalang

  

 Building lego WWI fighter planes with Elias...

 ....building a wooden bi-plane later after we opened a Christmas package from America! 

We had several days of New Testament distribution in the neighborhood (quarter) of our church.  They were meant as a Christmas gift from our church to all our neighborhood.  All in all we were able to give out about 3,600 or so.  Thank the Lord for all who helped and for our home church for sending the Scriptures! 

Me and my baby girl! 

Happy Thanksgiving...belated

We drove about 3 hours to spend Thanksgiving with a number of missionary families.  Here are a few pictures...

 Elias and Nate eating first while waiting for the rest of the boys to get their food...

Elena and the girls table...

 

Driving several hours and then taking 240 stairs to the top of a hill that looks down into a crater lake.  This was the day after Thanksgiving picnic that we normally take with the other missionaries.

 At the top...right behind us is the beautiful blue lake and surrounding crater...

Playing American football on the picnic...at the bottom of the hill :)

A few days after Thanksgiving I was able to get an official airstrip checkout by Tom Needham at the Banso Baptist Hospital airfield.  The field is pretty sloped and is divided by a dog-leg turn in the middle.  I did about 4 solo takeoff and landings on this challenging field.  The pictures are of Tom doing his own takeoff and landing after I finished mine.
