Sunday around Kotzebue was a nice, slow, easy day. We had breakfast this morning and Sunday School and then had usual church services at 11am and 7pm. Bro Paul preached this morning and Bro. George preached tonight. Both did exceptionally well. I played piano for both services...and even got to sing tonight. I also played for Ms. Minnie who sang in Inupiaq. They were both great services. I even got a nice long nap this afternoon in Bro John's house. :-)
Tonight we had a wild game supper after the pm service. We had moose, caribou, she fish, hallibut, and hamburgers for those not interested in the wild game. It was all really really good. :-) After eating, Bro John drove us around in the church van and we went and stood on a pack of snow and on the tundra. We took some really neat pix and I'll try to post those soon.
Right now it's 1:40am local time (5:40 am EDT) and most everyone is asleep now. There were a few of us who stayed up talking and sharing and just hanging out. Some of us were remarking about how neat it was that we were getting to know each other on a more personal, deeper level. That has been really nice. I've made many new friends and renewed old friendships while here in the northwest Arctic. It's been incredible to watch God work in our lives and in the lives of the people here in Kotzebue.
I'd better head to bed for now and get some rest. It will be a busy day tomorrow as finish up what we can before we head out on Tuesday.
