As October comes to a close, we are preparing for the dead of winter! The -40 temps are coming (we are told). I still don’t believe it! We are staying very nice and warm in our house, but spend quite a bit of time outside with our puppy. Finley LOVES the snow and doesn’t mind the cold one bit. He loves running around in the woods, eating snow, fetching sticks (not really bringing them back), and chewing on sticks and twigs. He would spend all day out there if he could. Us on the other hand, have enough after about 30-40 minutes. Can’t complain though, those out east have much more snow than we do!
God continues to bless our work here at Syndoulos. Our new women’s group, Northern GLOW (God’s Lights of the World) is quite busy. We are greatly enjoying meeting together, praying together, and studying God’s word. Jason continues to have lots on his plate, but little by little he is checking things off his list. As we near this busy holiday season, Jason is preparing for the many services and activities. Lots of “firsts” coming our way.
I went to the city’s performance of “Annie”! It was amazing! There is really a lot of great talent up here in Alaska. A golden retriever played Sandy. She was adorable! This performing company does three shows a year. I think I may have to audition for one in the future. It brought back many awesome memories.
After a day and half of the stomach flu, Jason is feeling much better. Saturday evening it came on really quickly, but he seemed to recover just as quickly. He made it through everything on Sunday just fine.
We had the UAF students over last night and enjoyed some great fellowship, food, and pumpkin carving. You’ll see some pictures of our work! It’s been great to get to know these students, and begin a mini-campus ministry. We hope to continue meeting once or twice a month with Bible studies, food, activities, and much more!
Well, I think that is about it. Enjoy the pictures!
God bless your week,
Becky
