Getting Plugged In and Bundled Up

(The winning team of the photo scavenger hunt, and the one with the best stories from the evening. Yes, that's a police officer)

This past weekend was a great one for getting waist-deep into group activities. The Friday night focus has been in the psalms (particularly Ps 19) and we’ve been discussing our experiences with God in nature. It is a great time of year in Alaska to see it too (of course it’s always a good time of year to see it) and it has been great to see the insights of others.
Saturday night Wes had a guys night. Around 5 p.m. I was kicked out and seven single guys descended upon our two-bedroom apartment, and the “guy things” commenced. This was a great chance for Wes to serve and get to know the single Airmen involved in the ministry (and some new faces as well). The guys watched The Office, ate junk food, played cards and talked about marriage and single life.
Meanwhile the girls also had a night of fun planned. I planned my first-ever “photo scavenger hunt”. It was a blast; the girls split up into three teams and drove around our small town in search of photo treasures, including local firemen and our beloved governor. Those will be posted as they’re made available to me (keep an eye on the links to the right). Afterward we gathered at a coffee shop in town to share stories of the evening and plan seeing everyone’s pictures.

Thanks for your prayers,

Elaine (& Wes)
