Winter is here, not that we have a lot of snow...actually,we don't any right now... but we know
it is coming. We have been extremely blessed this year with a very warm October! A couple of snow flurries here and there and some very windy and cold nights. For the most part...the nights are just below freezing and the days in the 30's and 40's! This month has flown by and we can't believe that November is only a few days away!
Flying in country can at times be...exciting at best....this last trip was one of those. ( We want to add here that not ALL in-country airlines are old, outdated, or poorly run. There are many that are up-to-date and quite nice.)
Earlier this month, we were able to fly over a 1000 miles north of here to the city of Yakutsk. The above picture isn't the plane we flew but the same type and the weather was like this when we landed in Yakutsk. We were supposed to fly in a jet, however, they only sold 20 tickets so the smaller (and much older) plane was the solution.
The reason for the flight was to take a trip to visit a wonderful family that has labored in this vast country for the better part of 2 decades. It was a good time of fellowship and encouragement for us and hopefully the family we visited.
