On the road again!!!


Hello friends,
I hope that this finds all of you well. We are sorry that it has been a while since our last post. We have been very busy. We have just returned from Anchorage and Wasilla. We were in Anchorage for three days meeting with Dan Jarrell, the pastor of Change Point Church. In Wasilla, we met with a lady named Joy Gifford, who was a missionary to St. Lawrence with her parents from childhood until her college years. She returns to St. Lawrence with youth groups annually and considers it home. We heard great stories of St. Lawrence and the people there. It is a very remote place, but they struggle with the same things we do in the states. They are subsistance culture, so we will get to experience eating a virtual cornucopia of "sea life".
Next Sunday we leave for Pedro Bay. It is a small village on Lake Illiamna. Most villages have no road access, so we will be flying into Pedro and assisting the missionaries there with there church and home. We will be there for a week and then return to Homer, "home", for a few weeks before we leave for St. Lawrence and Nome for 8 weeks. Please be praying for us for safety and guidance, in addition to our 8 week outreach costing us $10,000.
The girls are doing well. They love the outdoors. We can't keep them indoors for long. They loved clamming on the beach and throwing rocks into the water. Josh will be coming back in a few weeks with Mema Carol. We are ready for him to be back here. Chey is doing well in Texas. She is really missed here.
Thanks for all the e-mails, prayers and love. God Bless, Kevin & Sherri

Hey guys! Awesome, awesome picture but brrrr does it look cold. I am anxious to see it for myself. You guys sound so busy I wonder if we will even see you. Like Karen told you, we don't have to be entertained except by the little ones and what we do ourselves. Love to you all. M
