Do you need a chuckle

I just figured that everyone, every once in a while, needs to chuckle at something. Now you have to understand, this is really NOT something funny, but as long I was the one taking pictures, I thought it was.

I'll backtrack a bit here. MFI now has one plane in the air. The problem was that they had 33 people scheduled out on Thursday. They cannot take that many in ONE plane. The second plane will be flying soon, we hope, but not quite yet. So, here was the problem. How to get all of those people back to the US. MFI contacted one team and asked them if they would be willing to cut their stay short by one day. It was agreeable to them. SOOOO..... MFI flew in on Tuesday with the regular load. Then two pilots spent the night here with us, and the plane at the airport. When we came home, the ground was VERY dry, in fact it almost looked like we had been through a draught. So, being good conscientious people, they put the plane down off the tarmac on the lower level, in the dirt. Yes, you guessed it, we had rain...we had RAIN...we had torrential rains...ALL NIGHT LONG. DC-3's do not do well in slimy, yucky, thick MUD. Now Don, being the brilliant person he is, woke in the middle of the night and decided they needed to take some garbage bags along to protect their shoes. So, before 6:30 AM, I headed to the airport with the pilots. It rained until we got about 2/3's of the way there. Then all of a sudden, we had beautiful sunshine and blue skies, and a fantastic rainbow. So, at least they didn't have to get the plane READY in the rain. They did their pre-flight things and got in the plane. Praise God they didn't have any trouble getting out of the slush, oops, that's snow, isn't it? Well, then the muck. And they brought the plane up on the ramp to load the passengers. They were not soaked, didn't ruin shoes, but they sure did get some weird looks from the Haitians standing watching them in the mud. So, to conclude, I am praising God that the plane started, and was able to get the team back to the US. And the pilots were none the worse for wear.
You can see the standing water up on the top side by the tarmac. We ususally walk across this area.

Still waiting on container news. So, keep praying the cost will come down and things will go smoothly.

Some of my praises today? The plane and pilots are safe and dry. My virus is getting less and less, I think. MFI is at least up and flying with ONE DC-3. And last, but definitely not least, God knows what is going on and He is in control!!!!!!!!!!!!
