Alaska Mission Trip #6

Thursday was a trip to Elim. Very similar terrain and still much snow. The weather here got worse. We just made it in. Bob had a chance to get out on a four wheeler and snow machine. The Wisconsin boy was pumped!

The performances went very well and the evening performance packed out the Elim church. We had at least one third of the town out that night. (We had learned from the night before in Koyuk. There is a need for things to do, so the local schools have open gym every night. Koyuk did not cancel theirs...Elim, thankfully, did!) The place was packed with people of all ages. It was our best evening Rally.

We stayed after for about an hour teaching people how to do the diabolo/chinese yo-yo and making balloon hats for kids of all ages.

This school also continued the pattern of having great art work on exhibit. Paintings, sculptures, all kinds of beautiful work.
