We played cruise directors and Survivor all in one day!

Today was weird in the best ways possible, but weird for sure. In addition to our camp thing happening, we also helped host a Christian cruise workgroup. On their cruise they had the option to do a service project, so 30 people came to first pres. Skagway today to help out, and we were there to greet them and give them instructions. After they got over their disappointment at not getting to work with authentic Alaskans they gladly took instructions from our students and went to work. Our students were awesome! They got a lot of refurbishing done and left a lot for us to finish this week. So add construction to our list of stuff to do (actually it’s fun though.) In the meantime we did a Survivor day for the kids and had 5 instead of 2 today, woohoo, more than doubled. We also got a little time off today and some of us went hiking with Ryan’s amazing dog kai, it was good to just chill. Tonight we are heading, hopefully with some Skagwegian youth, to a point on the bay where whales have been feeding and we are going to hang out there and have smores. Our students are awesome and continually going out of their comfort zones to reach out to their peers in Skagway, they are super amazing. This church is really cool too, they are open for anyone to come in and take a shower or just hang out, and they feed us and anyone else that meanders in. Very cool way to be the church!
