Tuesday in Marshall Alaska

Today the weather was cool and rainy.  In other words no change.  We have learned to just cope with the rain.  Brice's crew got a good portion of the remaining siding done, then got the entry doors on the church.  Jeff's crew finished up the rough in wiring, and began hanging the ceiling plywood in the church.  Tony's crew finished drywalling the small house and got started on the drywall on the big house.

This evening we had invited Theresa to come over and have her family's picture taken, and let us play games with her kids.  Theresa showed up and so did about 30 kids.  Brianna and Kim played card all night, Brice was drawing pictures, Cory was wrestling all night, Jeff was trading stores and joking with kids.   We took about 38 pictures and printed multiple copies of many of them. It was a wildly successful evening.  Most of our team was involved in some part of the evening.  We intended to have a couple kids and take a few pictures as a warm up to tomorrow night.  Who knows how many will show up not that the work is out.

Please continue to pray for an end to the rain.  There are a number of things we just cannot get done in the rain.  Praise God that he gave us an  opportunity to reach out to the people of Marshall.  Pray for continued safety and strength as we go into the later part of the week.
