[singlepic id=47 w=320 h=240 mode=watermark float=left]Now that [home] school is out for the summer, we decided to visit some of the villages that we serve. This was the first time Sarah and Seth have had an opportunity to see first hand the remoteness of these villages, the people, and our where our missionaries live. It was also nice for the family to see all the duties involved in flying, loading, and operating the airplane.
Our trip took us as far as 1 hour by airplane, to a remote village here on Borneo. We enjoyed swimming in the river, an evening fellowship time, and good food with our missionary co-workers who live there. The next morning after the fog lifted, we headed to yet another village to visit the work and missionary there. The major project here is translation. Although we only spent a couple of hours there, we observed some of the process required for translation. Then, we left just before a rainstorm came in.
Finally, our last stop was a village only a few minutes away by air. I asked how long it would take by motorcycle and was told it can take a full day to get there. It only took us six minutes. Boy were we glad for the airplane. We stayed three nights in the guest facilities and really enjoyed our time visiting, hiking, and fellowshiping together. (One of the team members has a NTM Blog, click here.) On Sunday, we attended the little church there and even had an opportunity to share our testimonies. What a blessing.
