Greetings everyone! Today is our last day of work, although we will be breaking into two groups this afternoon to do some flight seeing (sight seeing in a float plane).
We are working hard and hoping to get as much done as possible for this amazing St. George's community. One of the parishioners gave us the fixings for salmon chili. Tony and his team made an awesome dinner for us and we included our new friends - Neva, Barbara and Joy. Barbara is the priest at St. George's, and Joy and Neva are the Senior Warden and Junior Warden.
Tomorrow we are fishing. Some of us will fish for halibut, some will fly fish, and some will canoe. It has been nice to be in one place for a few days. Tomorrow we will leave for the Cordova airport around 6:30pm. We will arrive in Anchorage at about 9:00pm. We take off for MSP around 12:00pm, and you know the rest. We should be in around 8:15pm. Can't wait to see everyone.
Your kids have been awesome! Working hard without much complaining. They see how what they are doing is making a huge impact in the lives of others. They continue to follow Jesus' command to take up your cross daily and follow him. They have also begun to understand how the other mission trips have been preparation for this one. I am truly blessed to be here in community with them, working with them, and learning from them. Thank you for the gift of your children.
Peace,
Jean
