A few weeks ago, I wrote a post bemoaning the fact that we hadn’t gotten fruit on the last heli flight that came in, and we weren’t going to have an opportunity to get more for several more weeks. Even though I was being kind of whiny and pathetic about the whole...

We didn’t get our bananas on our last supply flight. The chopper came, the chopper left, but alas, there were no bananas amongst our bleach, propane bottles, and crackers. That may not sound like a big deal to you, but it nearly brought my poor wife to tears. And,...

For those wondering what a normal morning looks like for us here in the jungle, this was today: My day started out with me being woken up by the sound of one of our children having diarrhea. Yes, you read that correctly, it wasn’t the child that woke me up, but the...

We are not dead. I just thought I should probably clarify that before I went on to talk about anything else, since it seemed like some of you might have assumed otherwise, being as we moved out into the jungle two weeks ago and have neglected to contact the outside...
