All cleaned up and ready to go!
The African skies are beckoning!
After waiting a full weekend and most of today, Civil Aviation finally came through with the signed documents giving us permission to fly anywhere in Gabon for the next 6 months! These documents represent over $1000 in fees.
Without wasting anytime, I swung by our pastor's house (Pastor Laurent of the Okala Alliance Church) and had him join Joey and I for the inaugural flight. As you can see, he was thrilled. 
The picture is a little dark, but here I am with Pastor Laurent, smiling and thanking the Lord for this great blessing- an airplane in Central Africa to be the hands and feet of Jesus. What a day! In a few weeks, we will have a big celebration and invite friends, family, hospital workers, church leaders, government leaders, and media.
Tomorrow... our first flight to Bongolo Hospital!!!

That's great Steve. I'm proud of you and find joy in your success. Carl
