We packed our bags, kissed Noah goodbye (we left him with another SAM family), jumped in a SAM plane, and made our way out to the little town of San Fernando near the Brazil boarder this past Monday. We went out there to visit fellow SAM missionary (and fellow FHS Alum)
Katie Wells. She has been living and working out in this little town of about 40 families that is only acessible by land for a small portion of the year. I brought a load of plants, Jenna brought a load of food, and Walt (another SAM missionary) brought a load of tools. Once there, we each went to work with our cargo. Walt went to work screening in the church and Katie's quarters, Jenna went to work cooking some food for Katie other than rice, and I went to work putting in a garden and planting trees.

Katie must have been so excited to get some plants, a planter, some food, a cook, and a construction expert!!!
Thank you Jason, Jenna and Walt! I know she appreciated all you brought her and did for her!

This is great! Great pictures, great thoughts. . . and GREAT way to serve and show her love when she is so far away. I'm sure that you were a great blessing to her while you were there and that she is still looking at the repairs, trees, pots and pans, and smiling inside at how sweet you were! I Cor. 16:18.
Who's the cute guy on the ladder at the hangar? :)
