Last days in Kodiak, we had the opportunity to serve in many ways as KBM prepared for the big ‘Cyclocross’ event (bike race) on Saturday. It was a huge success with lots of community members present. Lots of group-building as we also debriefed the mission experience around the campfire, having celebrated the baptism of 2 of our members in the Pacific Ocean at Mission Beach.

We are now home safe and sound in Oregon. Thank you everyone for your prayers and support!

Another work day started with prayer and time in God’s word. Cleaning the house yielded some interesting discoveries, including and old-timey night-hat. Visited the historic Russian Orthodox cathedral, which was founded in 1794, before finally sighting a bear fishing in its natural habitat (from a safe distance!).

Another hard day’s work helping our missionaries here at KBM, starting with morning devotionals. Also helped teach archery skills to local students through a special outreach. The day was capped off with the sighting of several whales, sea otters, puffins, and a huge sea lion!

A hard day’s work! Moving furniture, clearing a field, general maintenance, and helping with Bike Camp in anticipation of this weekend’s cyclocross race. It all started out with a ‘polar plunge,’ and time spent in God’s word and prayer. We capped the day off with a quick trip to White Sand Beach with a bit o’ fishing, before sighting a few Kodiak bears on the way home. What a day!

Early to rise for chapel (and discipleship training), helping run ‘bike camp’ for 2 age groups, processing firewood on Woody Island, exploring, and a group bbq to top it all off. A great day serving together but we are super tired this evening. God is good! Thank you all for your prayers.
