We've been enjoying wonderful fellowship with the folks here in Anchorage. We had a full Lord's Day yesterday, presenting our future ministry in Uruguay, enjoying a delicious potluck lunch with the church leadership as well as a restaurant outing after the evening service with some of the church folks – and, most of all, asking for prayer. (Do pray for us!)
God's people here have been very good to us! As I type, John Mark is in the church kitchen, trying his hand at baking a Fresh Red Salmon Fillet. By "fresh" I mean that the fish was swimming up the river two days ago!
On Saturday, we enjoyed an outing to The Alaska Zoo here in Anchorage. (The pastor's family has a year pass and invited us to come along.) The cool (wear-a-jacket!) weather was a definite highlight!
This zoo specializes in Alaskan animals, but they do have some others as well. Elizabeth's favorite was the Bald Eagle. (There's a framed photograph of a Bald Eagle hanging in the church's apartment where we're staying; it was great fun to see one up close – in real life!)
And the favorites for the whole family were unanimously Alaska's Three Bears: Black Bears, Grizzly Bears, and Polar Bears.
As we travel, we have been abundantly blessed as a family with these types of icing-on-the-cake experiences – and we are humbly thankful.
