Good morning, Alaska!

I arrived in Juneau the night before last at about 10:30pm after 6 days of travel! The trip was incredible! We made the entire trip with no car troubles or flat tires, which was a huge blessing! We traveled through Jackson hole/Tetons national park, Yellowstone, Banf national park in Canada, and Jasper National Park! This road trip was such an amazing experience and friendships were developed through this 6 day road trip between the 20 of us traveling together so easily that I can't even imagine how close all of us will be by the end of the summer! It is an amazing group of people that have been brought together here this summer and I know God is going to much in each of us!
So far in Juneau, we have just been getting settled in and looking for jobs. I was initially planning to work at Glacier Gardens, where I would be leading tours up and down a mountain on a golf cart, but I have been looking into other jobs. Today I should hear back from 2 places about a position leading either kayak tours or zip line tours! Prayers for either of those to work out as well as for jobs to work out for every else would be much appreciated!
This morning we went through "orientation" and chose what churches we would be going to this summer. I initially had wanted to go to Douglas Island Bible Church, but later in the day the staff women asked me if I would come to the Nazarene church instead because there is a group high school girls there that they'd really like someone working with! So I will instead be going there and am so excited for it! Here are just a few of the photos I took during the roadtip..














a few of us decided to bath in the glacier water in Haines, AK... It was FREEZING!!!
