in Fairbanks, AK

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Fairbanks, AK. We had opportunity to share our future ministry in two churches there and enjoyed catching up with a (surprising!) number of friends from college days who currently reside and minister there.

We (re)introduced several friends to Uruguayan yerba mate – and were told that a local college coffee shop now serves a Mate Latte! Unfortunately, we ran out of time to pursue that adventure.

Alaskan evenings can easily include the 10:00 p.m. range; it's still quite bright outside! So, Carrie and I shared many memories on our evening walks. Our due dates for our baby boys are exactly four weeks apart!

We finally got to watch at least part of a World Cup game – because Uruguay was playing, of course!

Among other things we enjoyed quality time, reading a favorite book: Buttercup Hill by Eileen Berry.

We now miss our friends...
