The 2022 Spring and Summer was so full of changes and surprises mostly due to Covid 19 that it was by far the most challenging year to date. Penny not being able to spend the Summer as planned was the single largest detriment for Bill that changed everything from every year prier. The Blessing that helped more than any was the Team from PleasantDale coming to Circle. Thankfully Penny was a part of the team that not only helped Bill but showed the village Penny was still part of God's plan for this mission.
Each person was so necessary in their own way that made this mission such a joy for not only the village but for Bill. Special thanks to Penny, Tonya Jackson, Christy and daughter Audrey Beer, Jay Carter, and Elliot Ripley for stepping way out of their comfort zone in traveling above the Arctic Circle in Alaska to the tiny village of Circle on the mighty Yukon River. The group was such a blessing to the people of Circle and specifically the children of Circle, but also to Bill who was challenged on many levels like in no other year. Many pictures will follow but please understand that Bill needed the team even more than the village did because of the difficulties presented by the ripple effect that covid brought not only Circle but all the remote villages throughout Alaska .
The end result was another amazing Summer in Circle with beautiful gardens, Godly fellowship and planning for the summer of 2023. More will be wrote about this summer after more thought and reflection. It was by far the most difficult summer out of the 15 so far.
