What a good weekend it was!
On Saturday one of the church guys came to help Andy put the roof on our house. They got about 3/4th done.
That evening we drove the motorhome to Matt’s and just parked for the weekend since Alan Roth and Richard Newswanger and their wives had come to have meetings with us on starting a church.
We had meetings Friday night, Saturday night, Sunday morning, Sunday evening, Monday morning and Monday evening. It was definitely worth it to just stay there the whole time instead of driving 50 minutes one way back and forth. We are headed home now.
The meetings were so good in drawing us together as believers. We also talked a lot about how to reach unsaved neighbors with the gospel. Monday evening Andy and two other men were elected to serve as a ministry team.
God is doing big things here in Alaska and we just have to give our fears and inadequecies to Him and trust Him to give us the strength to fulfill the work He has given us.
I too have been enjoying these blogs so very much! I check a number of times each week to see if there’s something new. Makes my heart sing as I see your house getting under roof! Praying for you both in the new church leadership responsibilities. Keep on keeping on! We send our love and support! Uncle Doug and Aunt Leona
Thank you Mary! It has been good to document the journey whether it ever becomes a book or not. Glad you are enjoying the updates!
Hi Tabitha, I’m glad you’ve been keeping up with the blogs, through all the busyness and all the unexpected disasters and set-backs you faced when you first arrived. Hoping someday you’ll put the blogs and photos together into a book and get it published. If you do, I’ll be among those lined up waiting to buy a copy. Your new home with the view of the mountains looks beautiful. You and Andy are amazing!
Your friend in Christ,
Mary Weaver
