October Alaska Mission Team Updates

The Alaska Mission Team left bright...um actually...dark & early Wednesday morning for Wasilla. After a few bumps in the road and a long day of flying, they arrived in Anchorage just before 9 pm local time (1am ET).

Temps have been down to 18F but the team is fortunate because they were placed in a cabin with its own bathroom. Talk about great! No traipsing to the bath-house in the middle of the night!

On Thursday, the team of three ladies learned what needed to be done for the women's retreat this weekend. They also had some time to explore around the camp. It sounds like one of the baby moose has taken a shine to Mary. Ah love :)

Today, the team was up early to what felt a little like a hurricane. The electricity was out and the wind was howling.

Please continue to pray for the team as the retreat will be kicking off soon with more than 125 women coming to the camp for the weekend. Stay tuned for updates.
