Travel Day

This is a big travel day. Thirty-some work team members will leave Tanana for Fairbanks and about 25 staff members will take their place. Pray for the MARC pilots as they shuttle people between Tanana and Fairbanks, for good weather and smooth water on the Yukon. We talked to Blake (in Fairbanks) this morning. He said everyone made it to Super 8 last night and only one Oregon bag is missing. Hopefully, it'll show up at Alaska Airlines today before the last shuttle to Tanana.

The Missionary Aviation & Repair Center airplane will leave Soldotna this morning, fly to Palmer where Russ and Freda will load on about 1500 pounds of freight (plus Sam Minatra). They'll then go direct to Tanana, unload, and start the shuttles.

One staff member, Ryan Brooks, is already at KHBC (along with a few other staff members). Part of Work Week #2, Ryan is mosquito-toughened and settled. (He also celebrated a birthday there last week.) We'll post tonight when we get word the rest of the staff has made it to KHBC.

Pray for InterAct missionaries Don and Brenda Ernst (Huslia) as there was another suicide there (Travis Sam) a couple days ago. Pray that the funeral will not prevent Teens from attending KHBC.
