Alaska Day 14!

Day 14 in Alaska! I cannot believe this is our last day in Alaska! We head home tomorrow. I don't even know where to begin. I am going to try and catch up on the events of the last week. Monday - halibut fishing, saw sea otters and sights around Homer and Kenai. Tuesday - rest from total exhaustion, went to beach on Kenai and looked for Jade and other cool rocks and gems. Russ led worship at Henry and Nancy's church. It was incredible ministry. We got to pray for an incredible lady for marraige restoration. She goes to the streets of Kenai and rescues lost and hurting young people. She brought at least 3 with her to the conference. Wednesday - Russ and the boys went 4 wheeling with Mike McDonald. They had a great time playing in the mud! We also enjoyed playing with their cats. Mike and Lisa were extremely generous with their home, motor home, and truck, and anything else we needed. They were awesome hosts! We went back to Henry and Nancy's church that evening for another night of awesome ministry. It was a blessing seeing their home church and meeting all the people. The people in Alaska are extremely giving and have much hospitality. they make you feel right at home. That was the case everywhere we went. An extremely friendly and giving people. Thursday - An adventure to say the least! We drove from Kenai to Delta Junction. It only took us 13 hours and 1 flat tire later and we finally arrived! I have to brag on my boys, they were excellent the entire trip. Never once did they complain or whine or fight. I was a very proud mama! But the drive was amazing! We saw huge mountains, glasiers, moose, and lots of caribou. We stayed at Evelyn Glass' church in Delta Junction. We had a nice room to sleep in, a large kitchen full of food, and a nice hot shower every morning. The best part was we didn't have to leave when church was over at night and didn't have to get up extra early to drive back to the church in the mornings. They also had a gym for the boys to play in. We were very blessed! The ministry in Delta Junction was just as awesome as Anchorage and Kenai. The attendance was not as large but the life changes were just as dramatic. One lady came to Nancy sunday morning after the service and said that her husband had come both nights of ministry and when he came home on friday night, he was a different man. We have truly seen Holy Spirit encounters the last 2 weeks. We have witnessed healings, the bondage of depression vanquished, and lives changed to the point of never being the same again. People are truly set free from every kind of weight imaginable and commisioned to go into their communities, using the gifts that God had given them and turn people's hearts to God. It is an amazing thing to witness. The conference in Delta Junction was all day Friday and Saturday and Sunday morning. Russ did his workshop on saturday afternoon. We left Delta Junction today around 1:00 and arrived in Anchorage around 8:30. We saw the same amazing sights: huge mountains, glaciers, moose, caribou, and swans. The only thing that I did not get to see on this trip that I would have liked to see is a bear in the wild and whales. Oh well, there is always next time! Adventure is out there!
