Update


Update!


Well, I guess there is a lot to catch you guys up on! Of course, the family is all here! Thank you all for the prayers. Everyone seems to be adapting very well, even James. The first few days were tough on him, but he has his Wii now and the world is good.

It has been very hectic getting everything here organized (and we are still doing it). Going from a residence of two...to five is quite a change. I guess David and I had gotten used to all the room here LOL! Over the last week we have put together furniture and unpacked numerous items from the family's travels. Everything is almost all put away. In addition to all this, my laptop has crashed twice, hence my lack of posting to the blog. Of course, Windoze has refused to recover, so I am now running Linux Mint on the laptop.

By popular request, we have now begun doing two services on Sunday. One at 10:30am and one at 7:30pm. We had so many people asking for a morning service...how could we say no? The first service this morning went very well. We celebrated the Lord's Supper with several folks from Trident. Pray that more will take advantage of this opportunity for worship. We are expecting guests for the evening service, hopefully they will make their flights! The Bundrant's will hopefully be attending and I will finally get a chance to meet them in person.

This upcoming week will be adventurous. With our Nation's Birthday coming up, we will be participating in a celebration in the village. We have been invited to do a cake-walk and enjoy the festivities with them. What a unique way to celebrate the birth of our nation! It will be an honor to celebrate our country's birth with the native peoples of the Aleutian Chain. We will have to report back to you how that goes later.

We do have a need that I will be sharing more about here shortly. Our church/ministry is in need of Bibles! I will be providing more details on how you may be able to assist us with this very soon. Many of the existing Bibles here have been VERY well used and are falling apart. I guess that is a good sign! Anyway, stay tuned, and we will share how you may be able to team with us to meet this need.

That's all for now. Please keep praying for us as we minister here in Akutan!
