On our way to Alaska.
Everyone looks tired from the 4:30 am departure time from the ORC.
Stopped at McDonalds for breakfast.
Got through security and waiting for the plane to start boarding. Everyone is excited for the trip.
Arrived at Anchorage current time is 1:08. The flight was 6 hours long. Excitement on seeing the mountains. Now a two hour bus trip to Eaglecrest.
Arrived at Eaglecrest and set up our sleeping areas. Then had dinner and a group Devotional, during which a sudden rain storm happened right at the end of it. A double rainbow appeared as a testament of God's glory.
Tomorrow is a day full of fun and excitement.

"Except for the fact that I was running on 3 and a half hours of sleep, my day was awesome.
After the drive to Chicago, we boarded the plane. everything went smoothly and we arrived in Anchorage early, which was rather exciting news! Then we found our mission leaders and started the drive to the camp. Although the camp was a little different than I was expecting. I was still excited to finally be there. Once we arrived, we just soaked in the awesome weather, and enjoyed God's wonderful creation. Overall, the day was enjoyable and everything went well."
NOTE: will update when I can.
Cant Wait!

ReplyDeleteHey Gang, thinking of all of you! Glad your flight went well and many of you had the joy of seeing mountains and flying for the first time! Have a wonderful time. btw....Joni didn't get tired enough to climb up into the carry on storage compartments and sleep did she???) Prayers for all!
ReplyDeleteAhhh.....paying attention to God through hearing the river gurgle, and walking on the ice glacier and the amazing way it stays light most of the time there this time of the year....God is awesome! Prayers for work groups and Bible school. Have a great time today.
