Victories at Victory bible camp.

Steve here,
We are here at Victory! The days are long, and I mean 24 hrs of sunlight long! It is great being here and settling in the groove. We have had a couple days of pre-orientation where we have been scheduling camps. Shelley and I have finished our schedule for the weekly summer activities,and now we are waiting for real orientation to start so we can hit the ground running! Rachel got set up in her sweet nurses station today. She is looking pretty legitimate as she is actually the only nurse on camp, but luckily the are a few nurses at camp as well as a couple EMT's/paramedics. Rachel reports to a paramedic named Matt Sherrer who is excellent and very good at allowing Rachel to take charge of her "Healthy Center". She gets her own nurse vehicle and office.
Life is going great here in Alaska, and we are able to text via wifi, as well as call on our iPad. So if you see a call from a very weird number that may be us ringing for you!

And Rachel and I have made our camp names.
Rachel: Nurse Patella
Steve: Banter

Majority vote changed my name...

Sleepless in Seattle...

Hey everyone! Just thought that I'd give a quick update! We are sitting in one of the many Starbucks in Seattle, Washington! We arrived here at 9am pacific time, which is 11am central time. We have been awake for 12hrs now and it's only 1:30 pm here! Talk about jet lag? We visited Pikes market place. We are soooooo tired. The past hour, we have just been sitting in here silent absorbing some sanity. We chose this 14 hr lay over in Seattle, WA in order to see the place but now, we are kinda regretting how long this is! We are probly going to head back to the Sea/Tac int'l airport around 5ish....our flight doesnt leave till 10pm. UGH!!!! But we will be seeing Miss Kelly Anderson tonight in Anchorage early early tomorrow morning. Keep us in your prayers as we are not yet done with our travels for the day. Great to have some followers and great supporters for us!
Gods love and peace to you this Sunday!

Ps. We have met some locals that were very helpful in our endeavors! And I may be readdicted to Twilight from seeing this place!

A well deserved break.

Steve here!

Today marked the first day of rest in a while. Since Thursday last week all three of us have been going like crazy! Thursday was spent prepping the garage sale all day long, which included cleaning Brett's garage and sorting the sale items. Friday morning was filled with repairing garage sale signs and baking banana bread. We were there from 8 am and didn't leave until 8 pm. There was a little break when my dad, Calvin, took Rachel and I out for supper and a good chat. Saturday Rachel stayed home and started packing up our apartment while Shelley and I handled the garage sale all day. Rachel was blessed with help from a few friends and some family members in the process of packing. Meanwhile the the garage sale raised over $500 for our travel expenses! Thanks again to all who donated items and money. Sunday we had the in laws come down to help us move into our storage facility and Shelley headed down home for the week. After a long day of packing we made it home in Roseau at 11:00 pm. Monday evening we returned to Bemidji, and stayed with the wonderful Nyegaard family, for a dentist appointment on Tuesday morning. Rachel had a teeth cleaning and I filmed a music video for Sir Avery.(which I just finished editing). Hope they like it when I show it to them on Friday for their concert with Jenny&Tyler in Brainerd!!! Now it is off to bed after painting the malung school all day.

Goodnight all, and we leave from the lower forty-eight in four days!!! Keep us in your prayers!
