We made it!

"I will lift up my eyes to the hills—from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth." Psalm 121:1

We have Psalm 121 marked in our Bibles. This Psalm was read to send us on our way by our church family.

We’re here safely. Thank you for your prayers.

It took us 7 days!

Going through the Northern Rockies in British Columbia was amazing! God blessed us with abundant wildlife to see right along the road side. We saw black bears, caribou, ram sheep herds, buffalo herds, wild horses, a moose and a rabbit. Yes, a rabbit coming up the middle of the road on the yellow line. We took a picture of every one of them, except the rabbit.

The picture of the lake is going through Muncho Lake, BC. Look at how the water is so emerald green. Doug noticed this was a sign of clean, pure water. Linda noticed it was still somewhat frozen and now worried that this summer might be a cold one.

The people we’ve met along this trail have been from all over the world. Places like, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Hong Kong and Germany. We don’t have pictures of them, though.

One of the nights we stayed at Destruction Bay, Yukon. It was in the Kluane National Park with a spectacular view of the Saint Elias Mountains. Kluane Lake was still frozen. The wind blew a cold chill over our camp site and it snowed in the morning. Burr it was cold. (see why I'm worried.)

We stayed at Tok, AK last night and are now in Palmer, AK. We took so many pictures coming up through the mountains. There were even a couple of glacier pictures. Our jaws dropped at the new beauty given to us in every turn of the road.

Everywhere we look is breathtaking scenery. And even in these remote areas, we saw many churches. It reminded us that no matter where we go, God’s creation, God’s people, and the great commission are everywhere.

We'll be attending church this Sunday at the Eagle River Church of the Nazarene. Doug said he didn't have time for God when he was up here the first time. Now, the first Sunday he's back in this state, he wants to worship God for all He's blessed him with over the last 35 years by giving honor to him in church.

This week we'll be off to the Anchorage area to tour then down to Homer, AK for some King Salmon fishing!
