Hammadou, our Fulani friend who is our yard guy and who is reading through the Firm Foundations bible stories with his brother, Aleta’s translation helper, went to the airstrip on Monday to help unload the paper supplies that came from Yaounde for our mission’s print shop. The pilot had arranged to take the airstrip maintenance guys up for a short spin, and as there was room for one more, Hammadou got to go up too! What fun to see his huge smile! He couldn’t stop grinning and he showed us how tall the trees were by indicating a distance of about 6 inches off the ground with his hand. What a super opportunity to show him how BIG God is and how much He loves us!<\/p>\n
