As I write this, the VBS team is laying out the event for Palmer while the construction team circles Christ First revising the project priority list as they go. These breakout sessions come after a group (lots-of-coffee!) meeting in the library with Pastor Robert. The day is grey but the mood bright as we launch into this first full day in Alaska. This day will probably not be as full as our travel day.
We arrived here at 4 am. We circled the church a few times (a bit blurry-eyed) and then, like homing pigeons, found our way to our respective nests. By 4:30 am, the lights were out and so were we. It felt a bit strange to be bedding down as day light was gathering. In fact, the farther we flew from Seattle the brighter the night became. At 3 am, the night was more like dawn.
Most of the crew was up and running (perhaps shuffling is a better description!) by 9 this morning. Now it appears that supply and project lists have been made and the next step is a shopping excursion. Look out Walmart and Home Depot!
Much thanks goes out to our delivering angels (Robert & Francis) who plucked us up in the middle of the night and dropped us in the warm embrace of this beautiful land of green forests, high mountains and wonderful people.
Stay tuned....
