Alaska. On the Island again. We were welcomed wonderfully at 1:30 in the morning by Christy's Dad who came down to meet us at the ferry. Our friends called us to invite us to lunch immediately the next day and then we spent a couple hours with Joey's Grandma and had dinner (halibut!) with Joey's family. Great to see everyone and go to Goodnews Fellowship today and reconnect with the brothers and sisters we love!
We start work on Tuesday.
Joey at Tongass Construction
Christy at The Point - a lovely gallery, yarn, art shoppe and cafe!
We are still wanting to be in Northern Ireland by December so all the moments here are precious. We enjoyed seeing our family in Oregon and Washington and are so thankful for them!
Joey's Grandma gave us this quote on our arrival - thought it was good:
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." -Mark Twain
God has been so good to us and brought us this far - we are thankful for His infinite goodness and grace...
More soon -
