Alaska....here we come...

Hey all,



Life is moving forward. I received a call from Len Wikstom, director of M.A.R.C. last night. He is ready for us to come as a family and serve with them for an internship from Jan. 15th – April 1st.



He has offered us flyer points with Northwest Airlines, and another family has done the same. We may almost have enough points to cover the entire trip.



We will be “house, animal sitting” for a family that will be in the lower 48 for furlough. They are very excited to have us at their home. We will use their vehicles, and do some maintenance on their home as well.



Due to the cost of luggage these days, we are going to try to purchase coats, gloves, boots, etc. and have them waiting at REI in Anchorage. We will leave these things in Alaska when we leave in storage. REI has a very good return policy for members, (which I am a card carrying member since 1995).



Wow!!!!!! Things seem to be working out.



They also have said that they will schedule a flight to Anchorage to pick us up, or plan on picking us up by vehicle. (3.5 hr drive or 20 min flight)



Once again, we are very excited about being able to be used by God in even the tiniest tasks. Thank you for being so supportive and encouraging! The body of Christ is a beautiful thing!



We are hoping to have opportunity to serve the natives in the bush while we are there. PRAY for those opportunities.



Thank you all again!!



Blessings,
