Last Thursday, a sixty-two year old American woman on safari in the Okavango Delta was thrown into the roof of a safari vehicle after it hit a pothole, an impact sufficient to fracture her C5 and C6 vertebrae. I am very happy indeed to tell you that, by the grace of God and because of the support of a lot of people, I was able to pilot a plane into the Maun airport in order to pick her and her husband up and fly them south to Johannesburg, South Africa for treatment.
Yesterday, a man with a severe intestinal blockage flew out of his tiny village and into Gaborone for treatment.
And today a seven week old little girl with respiratory problems flew out of her village with her mom, with the medics in the back keeping her breathing with a ventilator.
It's good to be flying. Heartfelt thanks to all the people who have been thinking of and praying for us these past couple of months. I'm looking forward to being able to relay a lot more stories about what Flying Mission is doing here in Botswana, both aloft and around town. Stay tuned!
