WEIO....WOW

What a great week we had. YWAM Arctic Mercy was asked or better yet, invited to assist a native ministry call Young Warriors at the World Eskimo and Indian Olympics this week. We spent the week serving the WEIO staff, as spotters in the event, floor helpers moving chairs, among many other duties. If you haven't ever seen anything like this before, it ain't like any Olympics we have ever seen. All of the event are taken from the culture, and are ways they prepared to succeed in the cold hard Arctic. Some of the events, were the two foot and one foot high kick, the Eskimo and Indian stick pulls, and many other strength events, that I could not even begin to compete in, except the four man carry. I carried four 150 lb. men, 30 feet, after the event was over. The winner, trained all year and carried his men 86 feet. The difference between his carry and mine, was that he walked away without a limp....and back pain. We were so blessed to serve and were really appreciated by the Native people that lead the event and competed. We can not wait to tell ya more later. Lord Bless You all, Kevin

If we weren't busy enough - we had three birthdays last week.

Cheyenne turned 14 on 7/3.

Josh turned 13 on 7/8.

Sami turned 3 on 7/7.

Cheyenne had a birthday party at the base and everyone played charades. Josh had a cookout on Sunday and he wanted to play poker - so they guys agreed - and Josh won. Sami had cupcakes for her birthday and we (about 15 of us) went outside and played a big games of duck duck goose. She thought is was sooooo funny! Anyway, we love them all and thought you would enjoy current pictures. Sherri

Going to State

Well, the Homer All-Star team won tonight. That means they play Seward tomorrow night for the South Pool Championship. No matter what, both teams, being #1 and #2, are going to Anchorage for the state tournament. It is the first time in many years that Homer gets to go. What an excitiing week we have had in Homer. The south pool tournament was played here in Homer and we have had some real intense ball games. Anyway, keep us and the ball club in your prayers. Next week we will be inAnchorage for the tournament andworking the World Eskimo and Indian Olympics. We will be busy. Blessings to all, Kkevin

My Time in Alaska

Hey its me!!! My time up here has been awesome! Seward was amazing and the trip was fun. I turn 14 on Tuesday and Mema Carol and I leave Friday to come back to Texas. My time here has flown by so fast, I feel like I just got here. Unluckily, Mema and I are flying to Anchorage in one of those small airplanes, so pray for me. Well, we get into Texas on Saturday. Love ya'll lots and see you soon. Chey

10 minutes of pure excitement

This is the best catch of my fishing history. It was one of the longest fights with a fish I've ever had. It was a king salmon(female) and it was 20 pounds or bigger. It was one of the best moments of my entire little life.

Josh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
