GD's plane was originally scheduled to leave GB at 11, alas it left about an hour late.
In Nain there was a brief opening in the skies around 12 to 1 or so, and then it closed in and down flat, so if it had of left on time they would have made it.
Air Labrador turned back also and a flight by Air Inuit did not make it in either.
Bill Prankard and a contingent of like travelers have been in Nain for a week or so doing some promotion videos and spiels and the like for this so called Shinning Light Ministry. They too were at the airstrip hoping to get out; they too had go home just like the other mortals.
I am lead to believe that both heads of their own ministries claim to have an in with a higher authority. After today maybe they might want to re evaluate going by the weather and the vehicle stuck in the ditch [SLM vehicle].
Anyone who took a vehicle out in these conditions needs a reality check.
The top two photos not only shows the guy who is two forks short of a cutlery draw and his elves but the folks waiting to get out or greet incoming travelers.
The bottom two photos gives an idea of the conditions as we made our way home after the disappointment of our granddaughter not getting home.

I wonder what happened to the 2 boxes of hand-knitted hats and mittens our Church ladies innocently sent for the kids BEFORE I discovered your Blog!

Well hopefully they got to the ones who were in the most need, there are those and there is the Moravian church who receives donations from various groups too.
Thing that bugs me is this BIG CHRISTMAS GIVE AWAY by SLM and Bill Prankard is more about gathering PR material for the on going plea for donations from the south than getting cloths and food to the genuinely needy. Looking at their martial there are a lot of misrepresentations [to put it diplomatically].
Oh joyous, SLM is back inflicting itself again aye. What did the recipients have to admit to this time? More importantly, why does the NG government seem to be caving to these people? Seems very seedy an evangel group has larger facilities then the local government.
