Hurray, Uncle Nate is Here!
Friday, October 9, 2009
We were blessed this week with the arrival of Uncle Nate Sobie! My brother lived here for almost a year right after Nathaniel and I were married. He has completed his flight training on the way to being a missionary pilot, and is now hoping to get a flight job in Alaska. At least for this month, however, he’s come to Nome to see his sick sis and get to know some nieces and nephews better. He’s also got a job here and a is staying with a guy from church, so it will be a busy time. His goal is to get a flight job in Anchorage, Fairbanks, or even Nome or a village. Flying in Alaska is GREAT training... we have so many challenging situations, and he’s needing to rack up hours. We’re praying that the Lord will direct his steps, and SO glad to have him here for a little while.
This weekend they’re calling for a big storm... I can hardly wait! In the fall we often have crazy storms, and being only 1/2 a block off of the Bering Sea, the view is amazing! The salt spray can hit the house! It will be fun to share the wildness with Danielle and Nate. Speaking of them, you can keep up with them at www.natesobie.com and www.theinvisiblereality.blogspot.com - Dani posts a lot of stuff about life here. She just recently posted the most amazing poem she wrote. Wow! While I’m listing them, my big brother Scott has a web site as well for his family as they minister in Ukraine. It is www.thesobies.com
We head out Tuesday, probably in the morning this time, for the final round of chemo. Hurray! I’ll try to let you know how it goes.
I thought you’d enjoy these pics of the children in matching outfits “Miss Sue” got them. Aren’t they terrific pics!?! The little video is Caleb in the bath... he absolutely LOVES his bath time, and has so many rolls that it is quite an accomplishment to get him clean!
