Dear Family and Friends
Wendy and I will be taking turns sending out our update/news letter about how thing are going so I am sure you can all figure out who is writing what by the wording. We are Praising God we got the helicopter flying on Friday, I have some more check to do with the track and balance but it only took some minor adjustments to get things running smooth initially. I am going to be flying down to Brookes Point on Monday to get some more fuel so I can finish fine tuning everything and we will be back in operation.

McDaniels’ return from US

At least one person among the 100 something inhabitants of Jacare, meaning crocodile in Portuguese, heard the message that day, because two days later Adanival and his son Elisandro showed up at the small hospital in Coari. This was to be a big day for seven year old Elisandro, who came limping into town on his one leg and one crutch. Today he was going to head to the city!

About 3 weeks ago I had the opportunity to meet Elisandro in Crocodile Village. On our week trip up the Amazon River his village was one of the several where we stopped to hold medical clinics. Elisandro came that day to the clinic to be seen for a stomachache. After chatting about his stomachache a bit and assessing his stomach, the conversation moved to his leg.
