Alaskan Adventure - June, 24, 2014 - Central Mission Assembly of God

Today the concrete was poured early this morning.  The day started out with beautiful blue skies, but rain threatened later in the morning and we had rain off and on all day.  That didn't stop these guys.  They continued on.

Here you can see the concrete being poured.

Here you can see the floater.  The concrete that is used in Alaska is filled with pea gravel. They say it will be dry enough tomorrow to be able to start putting the walls up.

     Anchor bolts being installed.

During the time the concrete contractors were pouring the concrete, our men continued to

pre-fab the walls, doors and windows.

    Al studying the plans.

    Ginger helped too.  No fooling, she did help move the wall, only I couldn't get my camera 

    phone out in time before the job was done.

We have a break time around 9:30 with devotions.  Today there were a group of Korean young people from Seattle and Anchorage here to do street ministry.  They ate an early lunch, and set out to minister.

Syonno backed some delicious cookies for our break. She said she uses very little sugar and lots of chocolate chips. They were so yummy.  She says we are going to lose weight because she uses olive oil and all healthy cooking.  I don't know about losing weight, everything the ladies have served is so very delicious.  Yesterday we had baked salmon and today, baked chicken. Side dishes are healthy greens or beans. The seasonings they use makes everything taste amazing.  I need to start taking pictures of how much they serve us.  Of course, always rice, but also very good.  These wonderful people are so hospitable.

Joyce, Ginger and I ventured out of town a little way and visited a shop called The Knotty Shop.  Of course items geared to tourist.  Here are a few pics of our trip.

     We looked for moose along the way but this is the only one we found!!

Of course Mosquitos are hard to miss....

The flowers here are beautiful.
