Hello From Atqasuk!

Shirleen and I are in Atqasuk right now...we're on a recruiting trip.  So far it's been good.  We talked in a church on Sunday in Barrow and did a presentation at the school in Nuiqsut yesterday.  We've had pretty good response to our recruiting efforts...but we'll see who really shows up in August.  We'll speak in the school here tomorrow and then we'll fly to Wainwright and speak in the school there.  We hope to have a youth night in at least on of the places we visit...we even brought some pizzas with that purpose.  It sure is nice having Shirleen with me on this trip...recruiting can be a lonely thing, and it's good to share it with someone.  So far we have flown in 5 different airplanes and have 5 more to go...so I guess this is like the middle of our trip.  Anyways, we're on slow internet here, so I'll update some more when we get back next week.
