The land of the Isneg people, where Jonathan Bamford and his wife, Heidi, minister.
No airstrip is in sight -- unless the pilot intends to land on that small patch of grass on the mountainside. He does, and he does it beautifully.
The workers had all the house posts up and were putting up the joists.
If the tribal folks were questioning our intelligence during the building phase, watching us try to learn their language settles the question.
By the time everything was wrapped up, the morning had passed. The afternoon was interesting too, but that's another story.
The other will take aim and then, with a jump and a karate-like move, he will slap the man as hard as he can, often breaking blood vessels.
The final test was to take off with weight on board, so the pilot loaded the plane with rocks. The news spread quickly: "They want our rocks!"
The Isnegs think Heidi must really love baskets, so at Christmas time they brought her more for gifts.
Several trees with red blossoms are near our house, making our yard a good place for "batting." (Jonathan didn't mention "lizarding.")
