To The Last Frontier!

Today Pam and I will leave on our journey to Alaska. We'll be in Naperville for a couple days with my family and then we fly out to Anchorage on the evening of July 4. We will return from our trip on August 14.

We plan to do some sightseeing the first week we're in Alaska because my internship doesn't actually start until July 9. The event I most look forward to is a very quick backpacking trip into the Chugach State Forest. I'll take my camera and post some pics to this blog.

In case I haven't told you yet, I'll be an intern at Trinity Christian Reformed Church in Anchorage for six weeks. They want to get more involved with the surrounding immigrant and Native American communities so I'll be planning and implementing some strategies that would make this happen. I'll also be helping with VBS and their youth program. Meanwhile, will work at Starbucks, as well as lending a hand with church stuff when she gets the chance.

We have been excited about the internship since I was assigned to it in March so we're ready to get started!
