The Second Eagle Has Landed!

Hooray! Jon says people are waiting for planes now, jerking all the stuff and people out and then the control tower guy says, "Are you ready for takeoff........go!.....no, wait.......ok go! go! go!" and Jon taxi's out. It's amazingly fast for the few little planes flying. He doesn't have to fill out normal paperwork, nothing.

We're a little worried about Bill Clinton's arrival today and hoping we aren't going to be one of the planes re-routed in his official wake. Re-routing is even worse than delay. Pray about that. Jon has threatened that he will defy the control tower and land anyway if he has too. I don't doubt it.

Bryan has picked up another nurse who called. She will fly out with our family. She, too, will pack in her own supplies for a week but hopes to hook up with some makeshift clinic and stay indefinitely.

  1. Lisa and Family,
    Just connected with Becky this morning and sending a check ASAP. In constant prayer for safety and strength. We asked God this weekend to make a way for us to help directly. Please see if Bryan could use an able bodied man like my husband in toe at some point. We are also updating our homestudy in the event God paves a way for us to be a forever family for a child or chldren who have lost parents. With one brown beauty in the family already so who knows what God will have in store.

  2. Wonderful. Thank you. Here's the situation: right now, God just helped us put this together in the spur of the moment. Bryan sounds like he wants to keep going back, but he's gotta regroup after this and think about how best to funnel the many volunteers that are asking to go while still contracting. Have patience with us as we get our act together to continue helping. Send me your contact info. at lisabartow@yahoo.com. I am compiling a list of willing and able bodies for the future.
