Last night we learned that one of our colleages was killed in an airplane crash. Paul Westlund had been a pilot here for 25 years. Obviously, it is a great shock to his family and the community here.
Here's a great YouTube video about mission aviation that he helped to produce.
Since we're so new here, we don't know the family well. It's clear though that Paul's death has deeply impacted the community. It has reminded me of the dangers our pilots face as they fly in this region. It reminds me that tragedy can touch us too. It has prompted me to hug my husband and kids more tightly, to be thankful for the time I have with them.
Your prayers for the family and community are appreciated.
