Sunday, July 31st: Back from Vision

Today, we returned back to Unalakleet from camp. Only caught one silver Salmon this year... and I had to work hard to get him.

Vision was good this year as well. (some info on vision here http://home.gci.net/~eccak/biblecmp.htm) Seems like they have a history of organizing good speakers. This year's speaker was Ron Mancini from First Covenant Anchorage (http://www.anchoragefirstcov.org/STAFF.htm). If you talk to him long enough, you'll learn something that his "Sicilian Grandmother told [him]". Ron spoke on Hearing God, stated another way, listening for God. We're all busy people, and taking the time to remove ourselves from our daily distractions is a good thing. His message was refreshing and honest, and I appreciated that (his sense of humor was a great add too). It was really good to see many familiar faces from last year too.

I spent Sunday evening back in Nome, with Chris & Lloyd, and Jamie. Jamie, two of his friends (Josh and Michael) and I went fishing on the Nome river that night. We fished for hours and came up empty handed. The closest I got to catching anything was when I snagged a fishing line and pulled it in and found a fish attached to the other end. Unfortunately the line broke.

Monday, August 1st:
Spent some time tooling around Nome. Flew out to Anchorage and met up with Ty Norrish (a friend of mine from High-school and college) and had dinner at the airport. I got my 3 hours of sleep and proceeded to work that morning... got my stuff packed and flew to Chandler, AZ for the rest of the week for work... more later.
