Hello, from Kake.
We arrived in Kake around noon today. We received a warm welcome and had generous help getting our cargo and team from the ferry to the Kake Memorial Presbyterian Church where we are staying. It was a pleasure meeting Pastor Chang and his family. They are in their first year leading the Presbyterian church in Kake.
We've been able to get situated, assess some projects, do some work at the local playground, talk with some old friends, share dinner, and relax a little bit. This evening we are getting treated to some beautiful piano playing by Dominic, a teenager from Kake. He's never had a lesson or any formal music training. Listening to him play is unbelievable!
It was a beautiful, warm, sunny afternoon. The warmth and sun in Kake is somewhat rare! So, the weather was definitely a blessing.

Our team spending some time out on the ferry deck during our journey to Kake. It was a little chilly. Not sure why Zach didn't think so!

The state of affairs in Kake. This is one of the homes across the street from the church. Southeast Alaska is actually a rainforest which leads to some problems with roofs, siding, etc.
Tomorrow, we will enjoy breakfast, worship together, work on some projects, and prepare ourselves to serve in the coming week.
