SAFE ARRIVAL...back on Tanna

I got a phone call from Erik, they are back in Lenackel on Tanna Island.
Ken the other missionary met them at the airport, and they stayed in town overnight.
All is well they were able to take the V-Sat with them on the plane, and that is good news...they never know when they have to put something on the boat if it will make it without getting broke, stolen, or lost.
They were waiting to get the truck tires fixed when they called.
I got to talk to Joel. Last time I saw him, he was 18 months and not talking much, this time
we carried on a conversation. I was so surprised. He was just talking away.
He has the same Aussie accent as my other grandkids. I was thrilled to hear him talking so well.

They should be back in the village by now.

Thank You Lord for their safety.

Hi- I just found your blog today and I feel like I already know you! I am a brand new Parent of a Missionary - my kids are leaving in a couple of weeks. The whole ride has been so emotionally overwhelming to me - it's good to find someone else who is already there. I look forward to reading more of your blog.
