Adventures Continue

Just a little update on how we're doing and what has been going on.  We've been going strong with the preschool teaching, which is getting easier for both of us.  We've been trained to lead challenge courses which I have already started doing.  We've seen many new Alaskan things.  For instance, we stayed up late a couple nights to see the northern lights and that was very cool. Although we couldn't see the brilliant colors this far south, we did see white lights shoot up the night sky.  There are Bald Eagles who have nested in a tree about 100 yards outside our window.  It's fun to see them fly by and hear them every day.  We went to a place called Pasagshak to see dozens of whales on their migratory journey up to the Bering Sea.  It was amazing! We've taken many hikes through the brilliant green forests around the island. The ground is covered in bright green moss as well as the trees. It is so beautiful.

We've had so many sunny days and we've tried to enjoy them as much as possible.  The temperature has been staying warmer (which means in the 40's) and we've had more and more daylight every day (the sun sets at 9:50 and there is still light in the sky at 10:30).

Where are those whales?

Some prayer requests:

•  Pray that God provides us the support we need to meet our financial needs this summer while we volunteer for the day camps.  
• Pray that we can continue to have servant's hearts to effectively minister to these kids at the mission.  
• Pray for continued strength and energy as we finish this last month and a half of preschool.  
• Pray for good health.
