Alright, I'm recording now. Hey everyone. I just wanted to give you a little update.

00:06

I'm in Alaska right now. This is actually, believe it or not, the cheapest place that my wife and I, of all the places we were looking at going for vacations since the lockdowns associated with COVID, this is the cheapest place that we could get airfare and hotels for, and we never assumed as young as we are that we would be able to do it.

We've learned that the more expensive things are the excursions like whitewater rafting or flying, but today we're just hiking, so it's free.

00:33

We're in Denali National Park near the front of the entrance. It's been very cloudy, but there's a little opening here.

00:41

I just wanted to give you a little bit of a sneak peek of what it's like even on a rainy, cloudy, overcast day.

00:48

You still get views like this. It's incredible. We heard from some hikers there were some grizzly bears down the trail.

00:55

On a neighboring mountain, it wasn't on the trail, so we're hoping maybe we can see them from a distance.

01:03

That's the best way to see grizzly bears. I just wanted to let everyone know we're doing well and enjoying our time, relaxing, enjoying

God's creation. It really does make you want to worship and think about how beautiful the design that God has for this planet, that when he made it is.

01:25

It's good to get out of the hustle and bustle, suburban life, and just see what nature looks like when it's very minimally impacted by buildings and noise pollution and all those other things.

01:41

It's very nice here, very green. We'll give you some more updates as we go.

01:47

I'm not going to talk about social justice or anything. I just wanted to let you know that we're enjoying

01:52

God's design, his creation, and thank you for all those who are praying for us and your support.
