Church time!

Today marks the first Sunday in Alaska. We went to a church called Glacier view Baptist Church. Figuring out where the church is isn’t hard: drive out highway 1, until you see the glacier on the right. Slow down, because the church is going to be on the left soon. It’s not every day that your church overlooks a glacier. I wasn’t highly impressed with the worship portion of the service, but coming from what I am used to, its hard to keep up with it. Overall, it was a nice church, much smaller than Lifepoint, but bigger than New Life.

After lunch, I got online to go shopping for a new cell phone, cause mine died on Saturday. I still have yet to decide on which one I want. Any suggestions?

We went to a small church in Chickaloon that evening. The organ sounded like something off an old Nintendo game. The service was really good, the pastor went through the book of Ephesians.

Around dinner time, it the temperature dropped as a storm started blowing in. Dwayne joined us for dinner, so we had a great time listening to his stories and talking about other airplane things with him. He told us about his property. They leave during the winter, cause it is too cold to keep water running. He flight instructs somewhere in the lower 48, after going to Kazakhstan for 2 months and Letourneau for about a month.

We went out for a walk after dinner, around 10pm, to enjoy some more of the great Alaskan sunshine. Syd needed to mail something, so we headed for the mail box, and then went romping through the forest. We discovered some fur in the trees. You know, like the type that is caught as the animal walks by… At first I thought it was moose, but then I realized it was up a lot higher than I could reach. We were thinking bear, because the tree bark was deeply scarred as well as the fur being up so high. We found out way back to the runway, and headed home.

I helped Sydney figure out the E6-B (flight computer) before bed. She was planning on flying at 5:30 the next morning, and do her first solo flight. We will be getting another roommate on Monday, so we are looking forward to her coming.
