The first official group communication for those volunteering with the Iditarod mission arrived. It’s exciting to feel the momentum building and to be a part of something much bigger. The communication included information about:
• Lodging – Sleeping in church classrooms with air mattresses and sleeping bags.
• Personal hygiene – Four showers and one washing machine for 60 people.
• Clothing – Boots rated for 40 degrees below zero and fleece.
• Customs – Take off shoes when going into someone’s home, dogs live inside, remove your glove when shaking hands.
• Attitudes – Go the extra mile, make time for romance at home, no smoking, no swearing, and listen for God’s voice.
It’s -19° in Nome right now (2-26-10, 12:19 a.m. AK time). I’m counting down the days until my departure on March 18, 2010.
