Yes, you read that correctly! 2 of our very dearest friends and members of our team got MARRIED right beside a glacier bay in Alaska on Saturday! DJ and Rebecca have been waiting on the Lord to tell them when the time was right. They didn't plan to do it this way, but once we were here, it just seemed so right.

Alaska – VBS
During our time in Alaska, one of our main "jobs" was to have a VBS for the children of Muldoon Road Baptist Church and University Baptist Church.

We just love these boys!The first day we went to spend time ... Read More about Alaska – Baptist Boys Home
Alaska – Food Bank

She gave us a tour of the food warehouse, which again, is huge. Their freezer is bigger than our house I believe!While we were at the food bank, ... Read More about Alaska – Food Bank

Today David was able to go with some of our team to help with the mushers...a dog sledding team here called Jonrowe Kennel.
