Hardly Working.

This week has been such a blessing. They guys got some much needed rest after being at camp last week. Allow me to fill you in.
Sunday: My Sunday school class went really well. I had four middle school kids who were all well behaved and ready to listen and learn. I enjoyed getting to know them and sharing God's word. Church was different in that it was a sort of VBS follow up and the kids did all of their songs. I was SUPER excited (not) to hear all of those songs again. I did however have to restrain myself from doing the motions in my seat. We (the boys) dropped off the girls at camp for the week and enjoyed a relaxing evening filled with laundry and food.
Monday: We (still the boys) got up sort of early and made the arduous journey back to Anchorage. We met the pastor of Muldoon Road Baptist Church (where we have been working) and got to fellowship with him for a while. He told us that we really did not have much work to do here, which was great to hear. We helped him empty and clean out a shed on the chruch property later that afternoon. It was filled with old furniture and stuff that was beyond using. We took it to the dump and had a good time throwing it around.
Tuesday: One of the best days of my entire life. The pastor drove us down to the Kenai river to go salmon fishing. Please look at facebook pictures for visual detail. It was nothing short of incredible. We had waders on and stood out about thigh deep in the river to fish. I actually caught on pretty quickly. We were each allowed to catch 6 fish and all limited out. We then gutted and cleaned all of the fish by the river and filleted them back at the church. I was pretty proud of myself.
Wednesday: We finished up our work for Pastor Fred around the church. Mason and Gentry did some minimal painting and I typed up a list of contact information from the kids that attended VBS.
Thursday: Pastor Fred had to deal with some family stuff (I don't really want to say, but please pray for his family) so we had the day completely free. It was so wonderful not to have to set an alarm and just to be able to relax. We cooked some of our salmon and it was delicious.
Friday: We (the boys) drove back up to Wasilla and picked up the girls from camp. We were once again excited to all be back together. We then had a game night for the youth at FBC Palmer (where the girls and Gentry had done VBS the week before). It went quite well and I enjoyed it a lot.
Saturday: We got up and put on a block party for FBC Wasilla out at their new property. It was sort of frustrating because everyone thought they new how things were supposed to be run and had no problem telling us so. As the trailer experts with countless trials and errors, we are kind of experts in all things block party trailer. Regardless, it was a smashing success and we gave away about 400 snow cones. We (all 5 of us) then drove back to Anchorage that night
Sunday: Today we got up and went to church here at Muldoon Road BC where we are staying. I really enjoyed the service even though Mason, Gentry, and I butcher the doxology on stage. Oh well. It was a joyful noise. Not much more than a noise, but joyfull nonetheless. We had a nice lunch and are now just chilling waiting for evening service tonight.

Alltogether it was a great week. Next week we were supposed to have 3 day off, but those were taken away from us without our consent. This is ok, becuase we are working with Mike Blakeney, but at the same time they were really our only free time for the rest of the summer. Oh well. Hopefully things will work out. On Wednesday, we are traveling back to the Valley to work with a church this weekend which should be good.
On a happier note, our week in Talkeetna got cancelled. While this may seem sad at first (and is to everyone on our team but me) it means that we will possibly be in Anchorage/Kenai while the Kolb's are here!! I am super excited and am praying that we are able to get together.

I hope that everyone is doing well. I changed a couple of setting on here that should allow it to be easier to comment, so please keep trying. I love feedback.
