Day 2 - Arrival in Pucallpa



Day 2 : We met Dave Simmons about midnight after going through customs and immigration in Lima. Went ahead and checked in for our next flight to Pucallpa around 0100. Our flight did not board until 0500, so we sat and talked with Dave getting to know one another. We landed in Pucallpa a little after 0600 and were picked up at the airport by Dave’s son Michael and one of the SAMAIR missionaries, Bryce. We went directly from the airport to the SAMAIR base which is about a half an hour from the airport.

We went to church, Mil Palmeras (1000 Palms), with the Simmons and other SAM and SAMAIR missionaries. We had a wonderful worship service, even with the five us fighting to remain awake due to traveling for almost 21 hours without much sleep, and were able to see three people get baptized. That evening we had a meet and greet with multiple SAMAIR staff and families.
Michael Reese sacked out in Lima Airport after 15 hours of travel.
