Thank you for visiting our blog!  We are excited to share our journey as we embrace our missionary term in Nome, Alaska.  We will be serving for two years through the Global Mission Fellow US-2 program under the United Methodist Global Ministries.  The organization we will be serving with is Nome Community Center, which provides a variety of programs, including the Boys' and Girls' Club, The Elders Program, and the Food Pantry.  We look forward to sharing our stories and pictures!
