This was the last week of our summer mission in Alaska 2011. I (Justin Stauss) am privileged to write the last blog for the team.
This week’s VBS went very smooth. It seemed that the week flew by! We had an average of eighteen kids in VBS each day. I had five girls and one boy in my class. The girls were very sweet! They brought the whole team a gift at the end of the week. The gift was a handmade paper box with a note of thanks and drawings of horses for each of the team. The young man in my class was very helpful. He helped me by holding pictures of the lesson and by helping others learn memory verses. We had a very nice cabin* in which to stay in this week. Vick and Jill Harlings were our host and what great host they were! I cannot imagine a better way to end a great summer in Alaska! The Lord has been so good to the team this year. It is truly unbelievable how God works, how everything that was needed was provided. How prayers were answered. How blessed we were at easily young children learned.
Today, the sixth of August, We are traveling for the last time as a team to Anchorage [190 miles] where the team will fly out in the evening. This summer has been an amazing experience for us. Thank you for your continued prayers and please keep the Barnetts in your prayers because they will be traveling and busy for the rest of the year. Goodbye from the MSM 2011 summer team!
