We all had great but long flights getting to our destination.
We made it!! A plane from the lake behind our hotel.
Well finally here is an update on some things that have been going on since our family has arrived in Alaska. We spent the first day which was Tuesday at the MARC building going through the day to day happenings and then having Jonathan get aquainted with the people and work area that he was going to be working with. I was around helping out the first day and Bethany did really well at the office all day. In the after noon we had our first evaluation which I did not feel prepared for at all and wish I had some better questions ready to ask them. That night we had the pleasure of eating at the directors house. The Bakers were awesome and we really enjoyed our time with them.
Bethany had her first ice cream!! :-) She wanted more but momma had to say no.
Wed I stayed home with Bethany and Jonathan went to the office. He said that he really enjoyed the people that he was working with and he was very happy with the work environment. I helped get Bethany a little bit more on schedule as she is cutting teeth and not feeling the best.
Today she has been doing much better and she slept through the night pretty well. This morning I met Megan Wohlers who is the daughter in law of the man we are staying with. She is involved with alot of things in the area such as MOPS, Tot Time, and play groups all of which I will be going with her to. I am anxious to see what God has for me to do in these ares in the future and cannot wait to serve Him through the children. Jonathan is having another good day and later tonight the Reeses are kind enough to have us over for dinner at their home. :-)
This is all very exciting as we are getting to know people and getting to know the area. We will try to keep you updated and I am sorry if this is more from my point of view rather then Jonathan's who is in closer contact with the organization. We are hoping to be able to take a trip out to some of the villages later if it can be organized. God bless and we send our love from Alaska!!
