Life in Alaska

Greetings all. This morning we woke up to -15F. The guys at the dump said that it was -30F there. The nose hairs definitely freeze at that temp!

We have been enjoying the people of Alaska here on the peninsula. As well as I (Scott) had the honor of going with a family who goes two times per year out to the village of Nulato. Nulato is on the Yukon and is 320 Nautical Miles North West of Soldotna. Mark Swensen of M.A.R.C. flew us out there in the Cessna Caravan. It was a great trip and I was able to see CEF in action.

At CEF-Alaska, the staff has been going through the Super Seminar training together. It has been good. Lela and I are in a huge learning curve trying to understand how everything works. We are learning to listen and hear how things are done. Lela has really been cranking out the administrative skills. She is really enjoying being used!

Shaughn has been looking into some options for both work and school. He has been a great help to Lela and I as we go into the office most days. The younger boys are enjoying the fact that not all of their school books have arrived. When they do arrive, the boys will be having some real fun!!!!! :o)>

We look forward to hearing from anyone!!!!! email us, call us, send us a letter.....

I got my first pair of flannel lined jeans the other day at Costco! OOOOHHHHH BABY! I am LOVING these things! I have never had a pair, but when it is below 0, they are VERY NICE!!!!! We are learning.

Please continue to pray for us in our ministry, our relationships, our family, our health.

Thanks,

scott.

Yeah! Flannel lines jeans!!! I love them here in the Ohio winter, it'd be a necessity up there! Keep the news coming. We are "tuned in" and praying!

Hey Scott, this Southern California boy is all about flannel-lined jeans when it comes to the Midwest Winter. I'm glad you discovered them way up in the Great White North...
