Hey guys! Emili and Peter here. Yay. Alaska. Yupp thats where we are. This morning Emili woke up at about 6:15 because Abby's friend called. yay 4 hr time difference. After we all showered we ate yummilicious breakfast. We had fresh fruit, CINNAMON TOAST CRUNCH (tm)!!!, bagels and yogurt and most importantly coffee. After that we all split into groups to start attacking the cleaning jobs that this seminary so amazingly laid out for us. One group painted, one weeded, and one polished brass/ removed waxage of the floor of the chapel. THE MOST important group (Abby, Emili, Michael, and Peter) finished digging a trench in the pouring rain. Emili realized that her rainjacket, really wasn't a rain jacket and became completely soaked within the first 10 minutes. Everyone else was quick to follow. 2 hrs later... We changed clothes. Then we ate lunch which included tuna fish sandwiches, grapes and of course most importantly again as well COOKIES. After lunch we went to collect rocks. In Alaska they throw all the rocks into one quarry. There is a humungous pile of asphalt from roads previously decorating this beautiful island of Kodiak. There's even yellow ones representing the symbolic middle line of the road. We spent a good 3 hrs. Jumping in and out of cars dumping and gathering rocks into their appropriate places. Then we had vespers. Where we were all struck with the golden gorgeousness of the candle stands that our own very dear Christinaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa had polished with the sweat of her brow to glow with the white hot intensity of 10,000 suns. Then for dinner we had crab. And now we are going to climb a mountain. Legit.
Peace and Love
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Your favorite Alaskians,
