8-25-09; Misc. stuff

-Fall is here. The leaves are starting to turn. Hope the moose start moving early this year.

- I heard Peter D. got a moose around Bear Creek. Good work!

-We have a new computer for the Rec. Not "new" as in NEW, but "new" as in different.

-I was pretty bummed about the Rec window getting broken. Bad move by some one.

-Camping in Kaiyuh looks pretty bleak right now; no water.

-A whole lotta kids are now gone, off to Sitka, Nenana or Galena. We'll miss 'em.

-Rumor has it the new Madden is coming for the Rec.

The SEND Team; 8-1-09






Well here is the scoop on the team:

-Jesse; He's from Strasburg, PA, he's 23, he has 2 brothers and 1 sister, all married. He is a full-time student at Philadelphia Biblical University (in Philly) working on his masters degree in counseling. His pastor was the person who recommended spending his summer working with SEND, and the thing he enjoys most about it is learning village life and culture.

-Josh; from Claremont, NH. He's 21, he has 3 sisters, he's a student at Cedarville University in Ohio, he got into this through a recruiter visiting his school, and he has enjoyed worshipping the Lord with others in all the different places around the state.

-Julie; she is from Glennallen, Alaska, she's 22, she has 1 brother and 1 sister, she is busy as a student and serving in ministry, a friend suggested she spend her summer working with SEND and her favorite part has been experiencing village life and culture first hand.

-Valerie; Wolf Lake Minnesota is her home, she is 21 years old, she has 5 sisters and 1 brother, she is also a student at PBU (with Jesse, who got her into doing this) and she has really liked interacting with all the kids around the state.

Thanks for coming to Nulato, you guys. We're glad you're here to work with our kids and share a week with us.
