Preparations


We have spent the last couple weeks buying supplies and preparing to go back in to Dao. One way of preparing was making baby food. We can get pears here now, so I pureed a bunch of pears and froze it in individual portions. Silas loves them!

Right now, Derek is on a ship taking all our luggage and supplies to a city on the other side of Dao. (30 minutes to Dao by heli!) Silas and I will travel to the heli base on Monday and take a 2 hour heli ride into Dao. The heli will drop us off and go pick up Derek and shuttle our supplies in. There is still stuff to do, such as weigh up all our stuff and prioritize what we need in Dao right now, and what can wait until later in case it won't fit on the heli. We only have a certain amount of weight we are allowed on the heli, so things can get a bit hectic at the end trying to cut weight and decide what is more important. Thankfully there is storage where we can store whatever doesn't make it on the heli this time, and have it flown in next supply flight.

Thanks for your prayers for us! The Lord is taking good care of us. We sure miss you all, but are also looking forward to finally being back in Dao again.
