Summer Fun 2011

I got to "oversee" the great Tie Dye Shirt Extravaganza!

Giving directions for crafting like the wind

Peter dragged me out to the dock to play for Hardenburg Bay. It was wonderful (until it started raining).

Liz let me play her beautiful cello.

Mexico 2011

I know that every year I say, "This was the best trip yet!" but this really was the best trip yet! It just seems like everything went smoothly (well, as much as things can on the Mexico trip). The teens did a fantastic job working hard and together to pull off VBS. Travel went smoothly until the end (van breakdown in the pass from Anchorage). Women's ministry was amazing with a huge group in the new Delta village. Construction team worked really, really hard to make astonishing progress on the building project. And as always, time with family and friends was sweet, sweet fellowship!

First service at the new church

Evening service at Colonia Juarez

And at K28

None of these trusses (used) was the same size or shape as the others. The poor construction guys had to do all kinds of magic to make them fit.

I paint the high parts!

Office, bathrooms, and two classrooms

Morning chapel

Stringing electrical wires and tubing to lay into the ditch it took 2 days to dig

July = Salmon (Subsistence dipnetting the Kasilof)

OK, so these pictures are actually from last year, but it pretty much looks the same every year. This year was rainier and we didn't get as many fish, so these pics are better.
