We are "home!"
Yesterday we made the journey from Anchorage to Soldotna.
We have made this trip a number of times before but never have seen the beauty that was all around us as we made the 3 hour drive through mountain passes and along rivers surrounded by birch and aspen trees in full color.
It has been raining here a lot and as we began our drive it was as if God was smiling down on us from the mountain tops as the sun broke through the clouds and shown down on the green of the spruce and yellow of the aspen with snow on the mountain peaks.
We arrived at ACC in time to see a number of the staff and greet them with hugs and cookies.
Our appartment is very comfortable and close to the campus.
We made a trip to the local Wal Mart to get some final supplies to make this home.
Meals have been at the dining room with students. They are reletively friendly, respectful and quickly tell wherevthey are from as well as their stories.
It is good to have the weekend to get aquainted with some of them and get settled.

I am pictured with Eugene, one of the students. He is in his second year here and became a Christian while attending last year.
Many of the students give up a lot when they become a Christian. It is a happy and sad time because they have to leave their old life behind.
