Day 4

Today has been another busy and productive day with many projects completed.  The roofing crew was able to get all the beams up and the rest should be completed tomorrow evening. Another part of our team joined the kick-off to the month-long "Kake Clean Up" project where participants help clean up litter around town, mow lawns, and weed whip around fences and buildings.

Culture Camp has also been another good opportunity for us to partner with the community by providing additional support in their planned activities for the kids. We have also been able to connect with others in the community through camp. This evening, we were invited to a pot-luck at camp which was a special treat. It allowed us to connect with the elders of the community and the chance to learn more about the Tlingit culture. During dinner, we saw an eagle also having "dinner" on the beach and a bear cub also wandered pretty close looking for a "snack" as well. Needless to say, the "Minnesotans" were pretty excited to see the bear while those from Kake thought it was unexciting to say the least. :)

We look forward to another exciting day to see what opportunities God provides for us to share about Him as we continue to serve in this amazing part of His creation.
