Slide Show

This is the video we showed in church on Sunday morning!

Friday

Today 6 of us got to sleep in and have an easy morning while 6 of us got up and went flight seeing with Dwight Hill. After that we had a closing chapel time where we celebrated the successes at the park and had communion together. We had a yummy pizza lunch and headed to our park for our final day. It was very hard to say goodbye to our kids and parents. Then we had dinner and headed out to help another group with their park party. It was a long but great day!

Thursday

Today has been a long but great day! We got up this morning and had breakfast. Then 2 people made lunches for the kids, a group went and bought groceries for families in our park, and a group of us went to a retirement home to play Bingo and line dance with the residence! We had chapel and lunch together and then headed out to our park to deliver groceries and start our time at the park. After the park we came home and loaded out trailer, ate dinner, and headed back out to our park for our park party! We had an amazing turn out and had several conversations about Jesus with people. We came home and unloaded and washed our supplies and then had cake to celebrate Emilie's 14th birthday!!! (how fun to celebrate your birthday in Alaska!)

Wednesday

Today we had the morning off. A group of us went and hiked and old world war 2 airstrip. Apparently they had been having bear issues the day before so we didn't go see the salmon pooling down the river. It was still a beautiful hike and well enjoyed by our group. Brett and Mrs. Kay stayed back and helped make lunches for the park kids. We then went and had chapel, ate lunch and headed to our park. This is going to sound funny but today was too pretty of a day and we had less kids. On days that are really pretty kids go fishing or swimming or camping so our numbers were low. Michael got to teach about the transformation Jesus does in our lives through a card trick.
We came home and had dinner and then headed out for our first group to go flight seeing with Dwight Hill. While group one was flight seeing we headed over to the Hills to hang out with Linda, Kirsten, Frank and the kids. Two groups went up tonight - Jill, Kayla, and Skylar went first and Mrs. Kay, Maky, and Hannah went second. After everyone was finished flight seeing we went for ice cream at Marble Slab. It was a great day and we feel a little rested.We also saw a sky writer today advertising for the air show this weekend. Tomorrow we have another busy day and our park party. Please pray specifically for the families that will come to the party tomorrow night. Pray that seeds will be planted for an eternal change! Also continue praying for our sleep and that God would continue to give us abundant energy!

Tuesday

Today was a very busy day. We got up, had breakfast, went to a food bank and served for a few hours, came back to the church, ate lunch, went to our park from 1:30-4, came back and had an AMAZING fish dinner, held a soccer clinic in our park for an hour and now we are back home getting ready to sleep. I'm worried tonight might be the hardest night to sleep. It had been very overcast for the first few nights making it seem almost dark. But it is very bright and sunny tonight. So please pray for sleep tonight and that it would come quickly for us.
