The Trip to Mt. Bosavi

Thank you for your prayers as we completed our bush orientation. We have spent the last week at a remote village called Mt. Bosavi. We had a great time learning the language, culture, making friends, and seeing the impact that missionaries and the aircraft have had on that community. Here are some pictures from the trip to Mt. Bosavi.
Waiting for the "final boarding call" at Mt. Hagen.
Due to weather problems we ended up going through Tari on our way to Mt. Bosavi. This is the home of the Huli Wigmen, (They are the brightly colored faces & big hair you have probably seen in national geographic)

Kayla with her new favorite aircraft. The "plane otter" she call's it, she can't quite get her tounge around "Twin Otter"
Here at Tari we hopped on to the GA8 Airvan (the one on the left) for our flight into Mt. Bosavi.
While Paula, Malachi & I enjoyed the smaller aircraft, Kayla wanted to be back on "her plane otter" as it was a lot quiter in the cabin that the airvan.
Short Final Approach at Mt. Bosavi, our home for the next week is to be the big house at the opposite end of the strip.

This brings us safely to Mt. Bosavi, but this post is getting to be way to big so we will have to leave you here....we will post more pictures later from our time at Mt. Bosavi.
