It's pretty crazy how plans can change when you least expect it. When we came to California this summer, we had our Alaska plans and tickets in place and expected to spend 2 monthes of the summer working for a salmon fishing company on the Kenai penninsula. Well, we arrived and began work, and on the second day, I (Kat) fractured my hand while cleaning a metal door in the plant. Thanks to the brush I was using, the door didn't go through my fingers! But it did do some damage and it's taking a while to type this out! After consulting our employer and discussing the season, we were advised to return to California based on the labor that we would be doing and taking into account some other medical issues that arose. So...here we are, a lot of money and traveling days later, back in California. Since we didn't expect to be here, we are busy arranging for work and trying to spend a good amount of our energy preparing for our field destination...which we have changed from Papua New Guinea to Indonesia. Lots of fun and exciting changes! To all you who said about Alaska "What an Adventure!!" Let us tell you, it was! Two eight hour lay-overs, 5 solid days of traveling and experiencing solstice in a state where the sun doesn't set AND eating "solstice" pizza at a place called Moose's Tooth. Wow. What will God do next? We even got to spend a day with Tim's friend from YWAM who lives in Anchorage, which was a blast. Alaska is beautiful and we're glad for the brief experience we had.
