Travel Week

Katie and Omar live in Tok Alaska, up near the Canadian border. They have this great little log cabin out in the middle of the woods. It is so quiet out there that we were in bed by 9:00 P.M. and slept well all night. Omar is 87 and told us about the Normandy invasion, in which he participated. He does have some hearing problems now; however, he pretended to hear during the Bible study on Friday night. I appreciate that. I also met with Joel (the pastor), and he and his wife are doing a great job! Also, I do appreciate Jack Golie - he is a good man.



The Assembly Central Mission Church (Korean) just dedicated their new Mission Center in Fairbanks. Between them and the MAPS RV's, the building turned out great. The pastor and church have a wonderful vision, and they are enjoyable to be around.



Just before leaving last week, I put on my wet suit, strapped on a tank and spent 46 minutes installing new tie down ropes to the "blob" at Little Beaver Lake. As strange as it may sound, working underwater is uniquely enjoyable - no phones.


Of course, the highlight of the trip was some time spent with my son, daughter-in-law, and grand kids. The kids and I worked on throwing a football. I think I'm getting the hang of it.
