It is amazing what can change in 48 hours:
weather....on Sunday it was hot here in Fairbanks with temps trying to hit 80......48 hours later and one hail storm later is currently around 50+, overcast, windy and rained almost one inch in 20 minutes yesterday.
baseball......on Sunday we put a'lot of effort in on getting the field ready after a torrential downpour and then proceded to get our rear ends handed to us. Tonight(Tuesday) we played a great game, scoring six runs in the bottom of the first and ended up winning 10-4. We also won last night to grab a modest two game winning streak.
recruiting back home......big thanks to Brian Swords for handling all the recruiting duties while I am away. He gave a good report tonight after I heard back from two recruits yesterday that they were not intending on enrolling at SWU in the fall. Those back home need to check out the Chaos as they wind down their summer season in Central.
Other items to occur within the last post includes Kirkland getting his first fish!! He was pumped. We went back to Chena Lake and he pulled one in this time. He said it was a brown trout while I called it an Artic Grayling. Either way, it was his first fish in Alaska. We leave on Monday to go to Kenai for about 3-4 days. The fishing is really good down there and the team will have a chance to wet some hooks on a day prior to a game. Should be fun.
We shared with the Anchorage Bucs today prior to the game. It still amazes me how college baseball players can give their testimony to guys they have never met in that environment. Normally, when you talk about Jesus in a college sports environment people will question your man card status, but our guys go at it. Mike(UNC Campus Crusade) leaves tomorrow. He has done a great job discipling the entire team for the last couple of weeks. We will have another discipler join us on the trip to Kenai/Anchorage.

Interesting fact: Use salmon eggs while fishing in Alaska

Keep those updates coming. Your Dodgers just took 2 out of 3 from my Braves -- both pitchers for the Dodgers flirted with perfect games. a 1 hitter and a 2 hitter. Looks like you all are having a great experience. Hopefully the wins will start to come.
