I had a hard time falling asleep last night. I prayed a lot so maybe that was what God was keeping me up for. I prayed for many things. I asked for patience and wisdom. I want God to fill me with His spirit and make Casey decrease and Him increase in me. I no longer want my will, but only God’s will.

We thought Sam, Andy and I were gonna be the last flight, but Sandy came across the river and yelled back to the house that we were the second flight and to get our butts over there so Gary could take off. Flying out of the village today was a little bumpy, but it was still fun flying over the island again. Both Sam and I got a little weak in the stomach, but once we landed and got some banana bread and juice in us, we were ok. Caleb (The pilot’s 6-year-old son) talked our ears off while we waited for the last flight to come in. When it arrived, we packed up the bus and headed for Puerto.

I sat near the front of the bus from the airfield to Puerto. It took about 4 hours and 45 minutes to get there. Every once in a while Ike (the driver) would stop to check the bus and his text messages. It only made me nervous when he would do that while driving and passing in the oncoming traffic lane. I noticed that there was a phrase painted on all of the bridges that read “Beat The Odds“. I’m assuming this meant that the odds were against the drivers to get across the bridge. Kinda funny, I thought.

After dinner in Puerto, Sam, Andy, and I went into town looking for an Internet cafe. First we got some Starbuck’s-style coffee at a place called Itoy. The first ‘net cafe we went to didn’t have room for us. The second one was closed and didn’t allow drinks inside anyway. The third and final one had a really slow 50kbps speed but we just accepted it. I wasn’t able to load my website for some reason, so I used mail2web to check my email, then we went home. It was fun hanging out with Sam and Andy.
