Alaska Mission Trip - Post 8

The construction is going along quickly and smoothly. Today was fairly light as we are waiting on trusses - which came this afternoon. A crane is coming tomorrow. The plan is to have the trusses in place by the end of the day tomorrow.

The big project today was to place huge beams for a drive-thru entry at the front of the building. It almost got to the point that we had too many bosses. The crew that had been working (and working well together) all morning, drew a crowd in the afternoon. The crowd included some folks that had a little input - even though the project was in good hands. Anyway, the crowd dispersed and the beams are now in place.

Forrest, Riley, and I went into Anchorage for a quick visit to the Alaska Museum of Natural History. That was a good trip and a needed break from the work. We were gone for about two and a half hours and made it back just in time for lunch.

Have I told you about the meals? We get a full, hot breakfast every day. We had four choices of soups and two choices of sandwiches for lunch today. I expect a really good supper tonight, based on the last few days. The church has mobilized dozens of volunteers to take care of us this week. And when we leave another group will arrive for next week's work. That continues throughout the summer. The church has been an excellent host.

And have I told you about the desserts? Very nice!

Once again, CRBC was well represented in today's work. And they represented the Lord even better.
