Saying Goodbye.

Our youngest son, Chris, his wife , Charlotte & 4 kids left Canada January 4th for a 6 month mission term with Missionary Aviation Fellowship in Goroko, Paupa New Guinea. 

 Nick choosing which books to take for the 15 hour flight across the ocean.

 One last hug for "Rose" from Carly.

 A large group of us went out for supper before we took the family to the airport. 
Charlotte with 2 of her friends.
 Carly & Keira.

 Adam, Carly, Charlotte, Nick, Chris, Katie.

 Indie & Katie saying good bye.

 Myself with 4 grandchildren.

 And more goodbyes.

Going through security. 

Their flights were smooth & on time. They spent a few days in Australia getting over jet lag as PNG time is 16 hours ahead of our Manitoba time. They have now settled into their home in Paupa New Guinea & the children have started school. Chris will be working on drainage & leveling runways for the MAF planes.

That is a huge commitment on their part. I am happy to see that people like them are going out there to help.My cousins daughter is a missionary in PNG and I know they depend on the MAF planes often.
