Anchorage and Chugiak, Alaska, Temp Low 34, High 46 both days

The building is the church in Chugiak where Mike preached on Sunday. They have about 900 in church each week. Their Sun. AM service is much like our youth Sun. PM service. The average age is about 32-35. They have 150 in Preschool if that tells you the age of their church.

The Triangle window is at the church aud. and the scenery is beautiful. The mtn. with snow on it was beautiful.

The bear hides are on the wall of the pastor's home. He killed both bears and hung the pelts. Each one is approximately 6 ft. tall if that tells you anything about the size of their living room.

The house is the pastor's. He built it himself. It is made of Alaskan lumber, cut by native Alaskans. It has a 4 car garage, main floor has living,kitchen dining area, office, and TV room. The balcony you see is a patio about 20 ft. deep and extends all across the house. The house faces the Cook inlet, which is like a bay of the ocean.

The mtn. is snow covered, seen from the highway as we traveled. The snow fell on the mtn. last week and the locals are distressed. Snow on top means there will be snow in the valley (anchorage) really soon. (Maybe before we come home. They are not looking forward to winter this early.
