Monday is nearly over here in Kotzebue and us guys are worn completely out. We have been working steadily since 9am or so (with brief stops for lunch and supper) and it is now 10pm (2am EDT). We have been renovating and redoing the sanctuary. The exterior doors were removed and reframed several feet forward to allow for more room in the vestibule. Also, we rewired the lights in the sanctuary, moved the switches closer to the door, and added boxes for ceiling fans and four additional sanctuary lights.
The ladies helped with clean up, crafts with the kids, and games. They had 29 children show up today and they had a great time. Nathan has been helping with both areas, assisting with the wiring and such and helping with games in the afternoon.
I haven't been near my computer as much lately since we've been working virtually nonstop--and I've had many of the team members asking to borrow it to check their email and such. lol. First Baptist Kotzebue invested in a secure router and I have the password so that we can have internet on my laptop. It has definitely kept us from monopolizing Bro John's computer. :-)
We are preparing to pack up and clean up tonight. We fly out about 3pm on Tuesday (7pm EDT) and head toward Anchorage. We have much shorter layovers this time on our return trip. I will try to update as I can in the airports with internet. :-)
It has been a fun trip this time in Kotz. I can definitely say this is the most we have worked and done in the three trips I've been up here. We got a lot accomplished and got really tired in the process, but we had a great time. We pray that lives are changed as a result of the bucket and bag giveaways. We hope that we have been an encouragement to John Forrester and his wife Terri and son John Mark.
It was a great trip and if you feel called to travel as a summer missionary, do it! You'll be blessed because of it!
