We notice that on the weekends and when the Cruise ships are not in port that things are considerably slow...they call it a "ghost town" (it really is) during that time. Streets that are normally flooded with visitors are painfully silent and empty. The wooden sidewalks (Yes, wooden) are wet and hollow at these times.
Monday, we spent the day preaching at the Port for a while then we met up with some friends from Whitehorse, YT and since other friends from Edmonton, Alberta who wanted to visit since they were working on the roof for an RBC project at the Whitehorse Kingdom Hall. We spent some time with them and ate a meal with them. (See Attached) They were able to show us a little more extensive of the territory as far as some of the outlying areas that will fall under our direction. It's very large and far. As we saw directly, the land is very, very vast. The area is filled with Bears, Humpback whales, Eagles, Orca whales and other wildlife that we have yet to see.
I wish you could see this all. It's quite amazing.
Talk to you soon. You are in our prayers daily.
