Going to ALASKA!!

The tickets have been purchased and the dates are set. Scott leaves for Alaska on Saturday, May 3rd and returns on Monday, May 26th.

The flight is an 8 hour flight. Bob is emailing me the details of times. He said they usually fly at night so they can arrive in the morning.

Scott will be flying out of Pittsburgh, PA. That is about a 2 hour drive from MMS. Add that time to the flight time.

We just found out this information last night while having dinner with Bob & Lisa.

Another note: Shaughn and Matthew love playing basketball. They played last night and their teams were against each other, which made it hard for mom to cheer them on. :-) Their youth pastor, Jason, said that Shaughn is so solid and strong that when he learns the game, he will be a brute. The boys love playing but have never played before and do not know the rules yet. They are learning as they go. Jason said that he would love to shot the hoop with them and talk them through a few of the rules. This is only the 2 week they have played on the teams and Jason said he could tell a huge difference in just those weeks. Pray for them as they try to learn something new and venture into something different. I am hoping that it will cause relationships with the other kids. They also will be playing soccer starting the end of this month. So, they and mom will be busy. All 4 will be playing soccer. We were blessed with scholarships for them all. Both, soccer and basketball last through all of April and soccer into mid May. So April I will have 2 in basketball, 4 soccer practices and 4 soccer games all in a week, plus, my husband will be preparing and leaving for 3+ weeks to Alaska. All of this while homeschooling and mentoring a lady.

I am very bored!!!! NOT! ha ha

I know you all have just received your newsletters, but I already have to start thinking about our next one since Scott will be gone the month we do them. We need to have it pretty much completed by the time he leaves and approved. Please pray for us that we will use our time wisely and that God will be praised.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!!! Right???? :-)

Bless you all,
Lela
