After an exciting two days of travel (delayed flight out of Norfolk to Houston caused the team to miss their flight from Houston to Denver causing us to stay overnight Saturday in Houston then a 1 hour delay out of Chicago caused a delayed arrival in Anchorage on Sunday evening) the team has made it to Anchorage. We missed not spending time with True North Anchorage on Sunday morning, but what a fun experience worshiping with our First Norfolk family while in the Houston Airport!
Day 1 working with True North started with a prayer walk in two different neighborhoods here in Anchorage. The First Norfolk Team was in the Mountain View area of town which is the most culturally diverse neighborhood in the world. This can be seen in the different cultural centers in the area: American Samoan, Polynesian, Hispanic, Korean, etc. Each person walked away with a different feeling or emotional experience.
After a wonderful lunch, the teams split up again and went to 4 different laundromats to bless people that were there doing to weekly wash. We paid for laundry, gave detergent and drier sheets, gave out sweet treats and had wonderful conversations with the people there.
Our day ended with another wonderful homemade meal.
What a wonderful day! Tomorrow we are off to Whittier to help with a July 4th cookout put on by the Chamber of Commerce. More tomorrow!
