Tropical Storm Patricia

The meetings ended yesterday, and we were planning to arrive at La Paz by this afternoon. We left the mountains at sunrise this morning and flew 30 minutes to Santiago, Nayarit. Once in Santiago, we were able to get some weather information, and found out that tropical storm Patricia is approaching the Baja. While the storm is still miles off the coast, the bands of weather ahead of it are producing heavy rain and low visibility in La Paz. The decision was made to spend the day here in Santiago and try again tomorrow.  We now plan to leave tomorrow morning at sunrise and fly north to Culiacan where we'll refuel, then head towards La Paz. If the weather doesn't allow us to land there, the plan is to fly north to Loreto and wait there. Either way, the fuel stop at Culiacan will give us plenty of fuel which will give us more options.

The Cora gatherings went very well. We hope to be in La Paz sometime tomorrow and I'll write about the gathering as well as post pictures.

  1. We're praying for you and so excited to hear all the details about the trip and your adventures! I'm sure God has been meeting your needs day-by-day. I finished the book by your aunt last night. It was so inspiring and gives me a much better idea of where you & Brad are right now! See you soon! Love & Prayers, Bud & Cindy

  2. Now I know how blog readers feel when the missionaries are in the dead zone -- although it was planned for you, it was still hard to be patient. I cannot wait to hear all that God has been doing -- I can almost see the pictures already :)
