Moving

Hello my readers,

Well, its official. We prayed, prayed, prayed. God moved and directed. We're moving to Aklavik for a short period of time. We'll be running the ministry for the missionary family named the Nolands. They're leaving for furlough in June. We'll be moving over the end of September beginning of October.

It going to be good training for me to run a small ministry. We'll be there until the middle of January. The reason we're going in October is for the winter months. During the summer Aklavik is a dead town. No one is there, they're out on the land at their camps. But when it gets cold, everyone is back in town.

The house the Nolands live in we'll be living in and taking care of. The owner of the house didn't want to leave the house empty during the winter. The owner didn't want the house to freeze. So that is our news.

For His purpose,

Shane Gordon.

In Aklavik

Hello my readers.

I'm sorry I never posted in a while. Nothing really to post about. I'm in Aklavik right now. I attended my cousin Kristen's wedding. Now I'm at the Nolands. A missionary family.

It was my first time actually driving the whole way to Aklavik on the ice road. I've driven on it before but not the whole way. So it was quite fun for my first time driving the whole way. I lost control maybe once. I started fish tailing and I just slowed down and the truck stopped fishing tailing.

Well, I better get going. Sandy and I will be leaving hopefully soon. We brought Angie Donley with us and now she might be riding back with my brother and a friend of hers. We're waiting on Angie to get a hold of her dad. The phone line is busy.

K, bye.

Super Intendant

Howdy yall!!!

For about another week and a half I will be the temporary Super Intendant of an old folks home. I know the Super Intendant from playing basketball Monday nights. He asked my pal Pat from work and Pat told him about me how I watched Pat's place and so now I'm here with free cable, free internet and a place that is nice and quiet to sleep. That sounds confusing...I guess.

I am having a good time though. Oh yeah, its within town and now Sandy and I walk everywhere...well....to a certain extent. Sandy loves walking. I do too. When I lived at my parents house I walked everywhere I could. Walking everywhere saves money on gas.

See yall later!!!

Writers' Block

Hello everybody!!!

Its obvious, I'm having trouble to write about something. So I decided to talk about "Writers' Block". And I'm going blank.

I was sick the past two days. Not too sick but when I got up yesterday I was super tired and dizzy and I didn't go into work and then I called work and told them and they said come in at 1:00pm and so when I woke up my condition was worse and so I just took the rest of the day off.

The next day, which is today, I felt the same. So I just slept in. I feel better tonight and so I'll be heading back to work tomorrow. I'm glad for that.

But I need your prayers because I'm having trouble sleeping. It doesn't happen every night but when it does, I wake up throughout the night and don't get a full nights rest.

Anyways, I'll let you go.

Shane Gordon.

Sad News

Hello my readers!!!

Well, there is no other way to say this but Sandy lost her baby. She lost the baby early in the pregnancy because the baby didn't grow right but she didn't experience the miscarriage. So Sandy and I were shocked that the baby wasn't there when she did the ultrasound. Her belly was growing and she had some morning sickness a few weeks ago.

So it was surprising to us that there was no baby. She lost the baby probably my guess was at least a month to two months ago but the sack in her belly stayed and continued to grow.

It was between 5 and 5:30 this morning that she experienced the miscarriage. The doctor prescribed some pills that would induce the miscarriage. There was the other option of doing a d&c. We chose the pills.

Sandy doesn't have health insurance yet but we're just waiting for it to come in. All her paperwork is done and sent in but we haven't heard anything yet.

All I know is that when I get to heaven I'll meet my first child.
