| Mommy and Claudsie.......... |
 |
| Donny and Grandpa setting up the new receiver for Grandpa's Internet. |
 |
| Donavon Hostetler (aka "Donny" to everyone except his mother...:) is living with us for a few months helping here at the mission. He's helping Michael with the house rebuild program, making trips to Ti Guave for supplies, and putting in a hand wherever we need one down here. Not sure what we'd do without you Donny!!! (Excuse me Eunice... "Donavon!!!") |
 |
| Shana with a little visiting friend.... Lizards actually rank pretty high on the "most appreciated vistor" list around here..... When you consider some of the OTHER options, that's not entirely surprising. :) |
 |
| A new goat for Alex!!! This one should be having babies here pretty soon. (No kidding!) |
 |
| A new stove for the happy housewife!!! The old stove was still putting out a lot of heat, the problem was that most of it was apparently being absorbed by the wooden cabinets around it, which would become too hot to touch.... Much better now..... |
 |
| Two weeks ago we went out to Labiche to visit Pastor Dineah and his family. We picked up our friend Dylo (Dineah's son) in Ti Guave to help guide us the three hour drive back the rugged trail. Dylo and I.... |
 |
| Alex, with the two youngest boys in the family. Alex had a lot of fun with them. |
 |
| Pastor Dineah would be a lot more interesting if he could just have a sense of humor.... :) |
 |
| They have a lovely family, it was refreshing to spend a weekend with them. Even if a front wheel nut fell off the truck on the way home Sunday night leaving us sitting along the trail waiting for Darv Seibel to graciously come rescue us. Darv and I spent Mon in Port parts shopping, then on Tuesday we fixed the rig and headed up the trail to home........ |
 |
| We picked up Johnny and Donny at the airport, and then got this steel package for Les Reinford's new shop....... Yes it's the same shop you'll see in the "Hurricane" section......... |
 |
| It was a pretty good load heading up the trail that night, the front end bounced off the ground several times as we crawled over boulders........ |
 |
| ...And here are the pilot and copilot!!!! |
 |
| This man had a tree fall on him, and was in fairly serious condition. The only really obvious problem was a cut through his lip, but he apparently had no movement in his lower body and left arm. So we knew he had to go out, the problem is, how do you transport a potentially paralyzed person over these rough trails without guarantying that they are paralyzed by the time you get there??? |
 |
| So we made a makeshift back board, strapped him to the board and the board to the bed of the Ranger, and headed out on prayer, (and very careful driving!!!) We got him down safely enough, and hopefully they were able to help him.... Haven't heard..... |
