Alaska...another update

God is so amazing! I have arrived safely and am trying to get onto their time zone schedule. The days are long here at the moment...like at midnight it is still like 4 in the afternoon. They have to put things over their windows to be able to go to sleep and make it dark. This is very strange. The people here are so dear and precious. The land reminds me of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan a lot and the weather reminds me of Seattle. :-) Life seems much slower here and the importance of people seem to out weigh the importance of "stuff and agenda's" like at home. Relationships are deeper and "keeping up with the Jones" lifestyle is not really important. Folks seems to be there for each other and not just in words but actually put action behind their mouth. Very cool to witness and see it in action. I have only been here 2 days and this truth is very much displayed.

I have taken so many photos and Scott has added them to his Flickr site. Check it out often as he is really trying to keep posting new photos every day or two.
Here is the link.

We are scheduling times to meet with different organizations and their wives to discuss what options are out there and needs. Please pray that God will give us wisdom and the right questions to ask. We desire to be in His will and for Him to be our Captain and steer our ship.

Bless you all,
