Dinner With the Warner's

This is Katherine Warner.  Her mother, Kristina, prepared a wonderful Sunday dinner for us.  It consisted of Popcorn Halibut, Crabmeat for the salad, Crescent shaped rolls, Fried Potatoes, and all the fixins. 

Their home is big and wonderful and close to Auke Bay.  The apple pie had cranberries among the apples and they served it with home made ice cream. 

This is Kristina and Mark Warner.  They now run Doc Warner's fishing lodge up here.  Doc and his wife are on their second mission in Indonesia I think he said.  Mark was busy helping her fix the meal.  There is no doubt these people have centered their lives around Christ.  Their home has so many Christ centered pictures and knick knacks you can't miss it.  They are wonderful parents of four children; Mark 16, Aurora 13, Russell 11, and Katherine 7 or so.

This is Mark.  He is a junior and attends our seminary class.  Diane sometimes teaches that class.  He is one intelligent kid.  He plays the piano very well but hasn't had a teacher since moving from Albuquerque four years ago.

 This is Brother B.  No one can say his last name.  His wife is from the Philippines.  He was hurt in a biking accident much like our son Mark was hurt.  The Elders had an impression to go down the road he had been hurt on.  They arrived just after the accident and gave him a blessing which they believe helped him heal and return to health. 

This is Bishop Zane Clark and his wife Denise.  They are in the Juneau 2nd ward.  He wants us to speak in church on the 11th but we will be in Yakutat.  He says he'll find another date so we are not to think we have escaped.

Aurora has not had a string teacher in four years when she too came to Alaska with the family. 

Kristina actually shot this brown bear last year.  She is very proud of the fact it went down with just one shot.  Kristina helps Mark run Doc Warner's fishing lodge.  She loves to fish, hunt and keep a wonderful home.  She is an incredible mother. 


The dinner was wonderful.  I especially loved the crab meat, but the halibut was wonderful too.  After dinner we went into the study and Sister Warner had the kids play some music for us.  It was a most pleasant evening.
