The Second Eagle Has Left!

Bryan is running today on hardly any sleep. Jon squeezed in a one-hour nap and a shower before meeting Bryan and taking off again at 3 a.m. with the two men going on this second run and a jam-packed plane full of medical supplies and tarps. Jon's gotta be running on fumes. Pray for his strength and that God will keep him awake and alert. He still has to fly back and pick up Bry and the kids on the final run sometime today. Jon plans to park the plane on the grass and stay with the rest of the team to help.

Apparently, because it's such a small aircraft, it can go places and park in places without being in the way. The things really in the way are US dignitaries like Hillary who come in for a media blitz. All airspace around her plane has to be clear. No plane could land until she was out of the airport. She cost more precious time.

I'm waiting to hear from the team in Carrefour about what is happening there. All the food, tarps, etc. were delivered.

Bryan says he is in awe that God could use little people like us to do something like this. We are nobodies, all of us, in yet we're there, delivering supplies to the people of Haiti! I guess this should be a lesson to us for the future...not to look at anything as though we were helpless to do anything. With God, ALL things are possible...hey, I knew that! :)
