One of the best parts of our time in Alaska was seeing several of the cities and areas that Bert served at on his mission "a million years ago" he says. In one city, he remarked that there was only one street that was even paved. We found the home where he lived in the basement and the church where he attended, even though it has now been completely redone. I found a Jo-Ann fabric store, which I made him drop me off at while he went to get gas and try to find the church! Living in Japan, the shopping is pretty close to nonexistent! Thank goodness we found a Walmart, too, while we were in Alaska!
