Summer Solstice

We had a fun day downtown Anchorage. The sunshine felt extra special as today is the summer solstice with the most daylight of the year. We soaked it in with enjoying the sights and shopping.

Hatcher Pass

We headed to Hatcher Pass this afternoon. The snow on the mountains was beautiful, but made the hike a little wet in the shoes.

Ham and Cheese

We had a morning filled with making ham and cheese sandwiches that will be passed out later in the week. We have now become professional plastic wrap experts.

Hanging Around

We spent the afternoon at our partner church helping with projects that needed to be done. How many does it take to hang up a bulletinboard?

Red is Red

The deck at our partner church needed a touch up of paint. We got to work with the other team staying with us to complete the project.

Salmon! Salmon!

by Nalani Hasto | June 24, 2025 10:53 PM

We divided up some salmon catch today that will be handed out later in the week. Might be the closest we come to Alaska salmon while we are here.

Salmon! Salmon!

Moving Out

by Nalani Hasto | June 24, 2025 10:56 PM

A local business needed help moving to a different location. It has been a hard move for the business, so we were happy to lend a hand and love on the owners.

Sanding out the Rust

by Nalani Hasto | June 25, 2025 8:30 PM

A partner ministry needed help in building maintenance specifically these six tall poles supporting a portico. We had to sand down the rust.

Primed and Ready

We called in reinforcement to help us get the primer on the poles. It was next to hand over the getting dirty to someone else especially a little brother.

Building a Garden

by Nalani Hasto | June 25, 2025 8:39 PM

At a partner ministry we were asked to help set up a massive garden that will be used as a resource for their food bank. The views alone made the hard work fly by.

With most of the partner ministries done for the day, we spent the afternoon around our partner church. We were in the kitchen preparing breakfast for the morning.

Chip Line

by Nalani Hasto | June 25, 2025 8:48 PM

We had the task to make little bags of chips for a future purpose. At first there was just one of us, but then we all wanted in on the fun.

Moose! Donkey, no moose!

by Nalani Hasto | June 26, 2025 10:55 PM

We were so excited today to finally see a moose in the  wild. At first we were unsure, but then we got to confirm it was indeed a moose. It competed the Alaska check list. 

Moose! Donkey, no moose!

Even in the Mist

by Nalani Hasto | June 26, 2025 10:59 PM

Our day started off with beautiful sunshine. God surprised us with a low mist/rain as we hiked to the glacier. The glacier was still awe striking even in the mist.
