We made it into Anchorage just in time to see the Fur Rendezvous and Iditarod festivities before heading to St Therese's camp and getting settled in.

Following mass at Saint Michael Catholic Church in Palmer we took a drive up into the beautiful Talkeetna Mountains to enjoy the snow and the views!

Half of the team returned to Thrifter's Rock to clean and sort donations that will be sold to support global missions. The team has accomplished so much in the last two days that the manager has to keep finding more for them to do!

The team worked (and played) hard painting at St. Therese's Camp all week. As the team painted they intentionally prayed for the future counselors and campers that will be filling these buildings in just a few short months.

Did the little missionaries want to paint or were they convinced by the older missionaries that it would be fun? Just kidding! EVERYONE had a blast painting walls (and faces) this week!
