GCA Returned to Guatemala

	No sooner had we returned, in fact, a couple of hours after we returned to our village of Mayalan, a pick-up came in from a neighboring village with a very sick woman in need of a flight to the town of Playa Grande, where there is a clinic with a doctor.
	The woman seemed to have miscarried and was quite ill with a fever and unconscious. Jennifer called the clinic in Playa Grande and arranged to have someone meet me at the airstrip when I arrived. In fact, I flew over the clinic and saw the clinic pick-up truck heading out to the airstrip. By the time I had landed, they, and the army contingent, were waiting for me.
	Before we could depart with the patient and her mother and two sisters, I had to add 10 gallons of fuel to the right wing tank. You can see the patient on the ground near the plane, waiting patiently. We love this work and the lives we help to save in the process. Please help us to help the people in this remote place by supporting Great Commission Air. See the link at the bottom for details on how.
	Here is a view from the cockpit as we approached a village very close to our base in Mayalan. I dropped Jennifer and the kids off here so that I could unload the cargo in Mayalan, then return and get them. I did not want to land in Mayalan with such a heavy load as didn't have much recent practice with very short landings, so heavily loaded.

Large expenses have been incurred to return the Cessna 336 to service, in addition to the cost of completing the annual inspection on the 337 (N6CV). We humbly ask that you make a donation to help support this ministry. Financial needs are especially acute at this time.

This is a life-saving service that ONLY WORKS WITH YOUR SUPPORT.

Special Thanks: Before returning to Guatemala, we spent six weeks living and working with the volunteers at Harvest Aviation in Wauchula Florida, finishing all the small details related to our new rear engine on the Cessna Skymaster 336, N538JP. Thanks especially to the Ereckson family who hosted us for over three weeks while we were in Wauchula.
