Alaska Part V: The icing on the cake

OHHHH you are not going to believe this...it is just the icing on the cake or as Zac says the "cheese on the cake" (yeah he's a little strange (: ).
This is the quick version and I hope it makes some sense and I didn't butcher it to much since it is coming second hand. Zac said he "had to much to do" and didn't have time to sit down and write it out. So here goes...
Well, on saturday Zac's family came up to take back some of our things that we know will not fit in our small 5x8 foot trailer. They decided to stay at the Hampton Inn (it's not that we don't have any hospitality, we just don't have any FURNITURE). Anyways after Zac had dropped his family back off at the hotel and was leaving to come back home to get me for dinner...guess what he spotted...YEP a vehicle with ALASKA tags. He wasn't letting them get away this time ;) the lady was climbing in the vehicle when Zac yells "Hey! Are you from Alaska". Turns out it was a grandmother, mother, and daughter. As Zac was talking to them he told them we were moving up there next week and they asked what part. When Zac told them Fairbanks, the daughter said that was where her fiance lived. Turns out the lady Zac was talking to used to live in Fairbanks and had tons of connections up there still. She asked Zac what was taking him up there and he said "It's a long story", she said "Is it the Lord?" Zac just kinda laughed and said "Well yeah as a matter of fact it is". She said "I think this is God". She asked if we knew a couple named Don and Sherri Dodd who live up there and it happened to be the pastors of the one church we visited while we were there. Not only that but she asked if we knew a lady who is actually on the board with Zac at church...small world or big God???

totally, completley BIG GOD!

I also have some friends that I've never met, but know them through a mutal friend here in Sylva. I hope you don't mind but I shared your story with them. They are amazing girls who all grew up/live in Fairbanks. One of the 5 is still in the Fairbanks area. She may contact you. She is a stay at home mom with two girls, the youngest being very close in age to Avery.
