Alaska's governor, Sarah Palin and Margo met in the village of Russian Mission when the governor and Franklin Graham came to distribute food packages to the needy families in the village. What a thrill for Margo.
Gary co-taught the "By This Name" Bible Study Course with Tom Leger in Fairbanks. Here he is holding a model of Noah's Ark and teaching the lesson of obedience to God's Word.
Gary turned 60 in March and the boys and Margo bought him a new rocker-recliner for his birthday. An Eskimo friend of ours, Henry, told him that when a man turns 60 he is entitled to a nap. Now he has a comfortable place to do that. Our neighbors gave him some new hip waders so he's all set! I'm not sure if he's set for a fishing trip or a nap.
We attended a Family Life "Weekend to Remember" in Anchorage along with Dave and Vera, our friends, Thane and Chasity from Fairbanks, George and Eunice from Marshall and Joe and Becky from Russian Mission.
A new gas powered propane pump was donated to Kako by supporters in Friday Harbor. Now instead of filling our propane bottles by gravity feed, which took two days to fill one bottle, we can now fill 30 in three hours. We are grateful. This picture was taken at Kako's fuel farm at the river. Gary is actually standing on the top of the large propane tank that is covered with snow.
I have not looked at your blog in so long, I guess I figure I know what is going on in your life since I live next door :) I love all the pictures, so fun!!!
