Ethan and Gus became friends quickly ❤️
Really having Instagram paralysis over which sunset photo to post so here’s the video of the whole thing 😂🤗
Had some Moose drama in our yard! This guy showed up! He watched Mama and Baby on the sidelines and was making calls at Mama. She took off one way and Baby took off another way, and the young male just wandered around for awhile. I was worried Mama and Baby were separated for good (although Baby might be old enough at this point, I don’t know). That night Mama woke us up late making her calls and noises and clomping around the yard (that weird deep bass noise we heard every once in a while at night and wondered about- moose clomping around! -duh 😆) the next day Mama and Baby were back together in the yard again ☺️ more in stories!
Tuesday morning service views 😍 sunlight on ocean and glacier!
My favorite little service buddies, Cole & Ian. They are so cute and fun. There are tons of little boys in the hall! I haven’t received a definite publisher count from anyone but it seems to be around 70. There are always visitors to the hall and lots of the regular friends are traveling or away currently. It’s a very lively, incredibly friendly congregation and they’ve taken us in as if we have always been there. We also have a group of 15 publishers in Chignik and one Student in Iliamna; both places are very far away, across the Cook Inlet, down near where the Aleutian Islands start. They tie in to all of our meetings and comment and do parts remotely over the sound system, it’s so cool that they are also part of the Homer congregation! The territory is vast, and the areas across Kachemak bay are only accessible by boat. There are 7 pioneers with me included. Service is very fun and everyone is very friendly!
The Reservoir on Diamond Ridge. This area reminded me of home a bit 😊
Monday morning service views 😍 up on Skyline drive; a very fitting road name.
Enjoyed a walk on the beach last weekend in the sunset light at Land’s End 💕 we saw so many sea otters playing in the waves. Looking for whales but didn’t see any this time. Hope we can do this again tonight!
Meet Iliamna Volcano! At 10,016 it towers over the other mountains across the Cook Inlet, here seen from Anchor Point Beach. To the right, just out of this photo is Redoubt Volcano, which is massively beautiful at 10,197 feet. Iliamna has no eruptions on record yet the same can’t be said for Redoubt which had 19 eruptions in 2009. This info is from the US Dept. of the Interior. Going back into Homer, if you look out across the ocean you can see a third Volcano, Augustine, which is especially cool cause it is its own island, standing at 4,134 feet. It’s last major eruption was in 2006. A brother gave us a good acronym “AIR” to remember the order of the volcanoes: Augustine, Iliamna, Redoubt. It’s kind of scary-exciting to live on the ring of fire, and we are definitely looking forward to disaster training in November at the Hall!!!
