Today we went to the Smoketown Airport for the annual "Mission Fest". Several mission aviation planes were on display and represenatives from 6 or 7 mission agencies were there to talk about mission aviation around the world. There were planes taking off and landing every couple of minutes as several paid a small fee to take a ride. We were there 3 or 4 years ago and Mark and the kids went up in a small plane then. This time we just watched - and Jaden really enjoyed that.

The high-light of the day was seeing Steve Saint (son of Nate Saint - one of the 5 missionaries who were martyred in the jungle of Ecuador over 50 years ago). We also saw the plane that was used in the movie "The End of the Spear" that documented the story of those missionaries.

We also enjoyed seeing some friends of ours including John Meyers with Nathan and Bekah, who are missionaries with New Tribes who are preparing to eventually go to Bolivia.
