Earl finally arrived back in Fairbanks with the Navajo Chieftain.  There were many challenges and opportunities to grow spiritually.  Most notable was when the left engine lost oil pressure over the Canadian Rockies, 40 minutes from Whitehorse, Yukon Territory.  After shutting down the left engine, the hardest part was finding the runway at Teslin, Yukon.  A blanket of six (6) inches of fresh snow made it impossible to see the lights until on final approach.  Once safely on the ground, he found the problem (a frozen crankcase vent), chiseled out the ice with his knife, poured in 7 quarts of oil, and they continued on to Whitehorse to complete the repairs.  Your prayers do make a difference, and we are grateful for them!  It will take a while to prep this plane for work in the Arctic, but we believe it will be well worth the time, effort, and expense.  It will increase our ability to serve more, and do it even safer.
