Alaska Update

Time flies when you are enjoying yourself. As of late tomorrow evening, we will have been here for a week. It seems like a month has passed since we arrived, but only because we have accomplished so much in such a short amount of time.

A group of students from Universities all over Texas arrived here a few days ago and are here to work with us on coordinating the events of the next two weeks. Although we've only known each other for a few days, we have already become a tight-knit group. I can tell already that the end of this trip is going to be really hard. I hate goodbyes.

Lots of crazy stuff has happened in the last week. We've been severely delayed in the last couple of days because of problems that keep arising. We are managing to stay on top of them though. We are still getting a ton of work done. Today promises to be a long day. We have to load the remainder of our supplies for the next two weeks and move them, our gear, and ourselves down to Kenai, Alaska, so that we can begin the bulk of the preparation work for the Salmon Frenzy project.

God is teaching me so much on this adventure. I'm learning a lot about work ethic and initiative and getting things done in general. Its amazing to see the work thats unfolding right in front of my eyes. I am also extremely grateful for the friends, both old and new, that I have the pleasure of working with over the course of this adventure.

We still have a long day to go today and I have several things I must tend to immediately.
