Montana Sunset

Sunset in Montana comes closer to 10pm MT, so it's weird to have sunlight so late.  My sister and her husband go to bed at like 8:30, which I guess makes sense because it'd be 10:30 ET.  My body's adjusted to the time difference now, and I'm going back to ET on Wednesday.

Today we went back to Giant Springs on the Missouri River.  I love the Giant Springs.  They pump 150 million gallons of water per day into the Missouri River.  Due to the melting snows and the heavy rains, the Missouri is flooding and rushing fast.  The wind on the river was crazy too.  Still, it was beautiful.  I'm continually awed by God's creation.  I'm sad I'm only seeing a small part of Montana.  I had a friend tell me to go to Glacier National Park, but it's 3 hours away.

Also, today I toured the aircraft museum on base.  It's small, but they have interesting planes on display.  They have miniature airplanes in the museum building as well.  We watched a 20min video about the Minuteman III ICBM.  Apparently there are about 150 ICBMs in Montana alone.  Malmstrom is a Missile Command base, so there are no jets.  With all this sky, I was hoping to see some military jets flying around, but alas, no luck so far :(  Oh well, I have one more full day in town, so we'll see.

I love my sister very much, and I'm so excited about my niece/nephew who is on the way.  I'm very proud of my brother-in-law for serving his country too.  I need to get a summer home in Montana :)

I'll be back in Jonesboro from Wednesday-Friday.  Saturday I'll head up to Camp Icthus for two weeks.  For those two weeks, I won't be reachable by computer, but I will be by phone.  Don't hesitate to text me :)

For the Kingdom,
Stuart
