It appears our friend Ezekiel brought his wife (we think). At least he has been telling his friends this is a cool place to hang out (pun intended). We are just surrounded by incredible wildlife for such a desolate island. The foxes were howling the other night and the eagles are always screaming at the ravens!
The other day a man had a heart attack at the plant. This pic is of the medevac chopper from the Coast Guard. You will see the only police officer assigned to the island walking in the background. His name is Nick. We have had several really good conversations. It really is a "small town."
This is a pic of what I have been using the dry-erase board for now. I got this idea from somebody on Facebook. I basically post a question of a spiritual nature on the board and then allow people to post their opinions in a "voting" format. This has stirred NUMEROUS conversations leading to the Gospel. As you can see, there are MANY different religious beliefs represented here on Akutan. Ironically, no one wanted to admit that they voted for reincarnation LOL! But I had some great one-to-one conversations with many people.
Just today I had a long conversation with three Muslim guys. Two of them admitted that they weren't "practicing" Muslims, but they sure tried to defend their faith. It was very difficult to witness to them, but they heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I pray that the Lord will use the opportunity to convict them of their sin and that they might be saved.
Please continue to pray for David and I. We are both missing the rest of the family. We haven't had mail/a plane for over two weeks now. Nothing but snow, snow, and more snow. Even the villagers I talk to say they have never seen it this bad here. Pray that the weather breaks and we get some nice days!
Thank you all very much for your prayers and support! It means so much to us all!
Peter
