The Kids

What a great day we had today.  First of all it has been fantastic to just be with Marian.  She is truly a remarkable woman of God.  Right after we got here we began rebuilding one of her stairways to get into her house.  We just about finished it this afternoon.  We had a great dinner and then we met with the kids this evening.  There were about 40 of them that gathered in the church and we had a great time.  We played some games and oh, did the kids have a ball.  We sang some songs.  They sang some of them in the Yupik language - that was great.  It was just a great evening to connect with the people.

Then afterward we really had a great blessing.  Joe, one of the leaders in the church is a fisherman.  We got to talking with him and we got to go out with him tonight and check the nets.  So at midnight we are on an 18 ft. aluminum boat with a 30 hp Yamaha outboard motor.  We went about 15 minutes out and came upon his net.  We got 3 big King Salmon in it.  It was raining and cold but it was awesome.  We are believing that God is going to really bless Joe and Lucy and their fishing business.

Sorry if my writing is poor.  I am totally exhausted as I write this, so this may sound goofy.  We Tomorrow we are heading back out to check the nets at high tide and then we are going up river to scout out the camp.
