Friday was to have been to two different villages: White Mountain and Golovin. We had known earlier in the week that Golovin was not going to work out because the school and much of the village was gone - literally - to Anchorage for a volleyball tournament. We had hoped to do White Mountain but the weather did not permit a landing. We flew past and on to Nome for the weekend. That was disappointing, but a taste of life in remote villages. Make plans for a trip to the dentist - or whatever - and then pray the weather allows you to get there...and back!
We met some folks in Nome who were from White Mountain. BJ and Tom Gray are native and run an adventure/guide service near White Mountain. They sponsor a Christian camp every summer at their facilities with speaker and all.
White Mountain was also one of the villages with no local pastor so the lay people provide as much leadership as they can.
