The End of the World

“We_saw_a_vision of the entire Western Hemisphere rockribbing clear down to Tierra del Fuego and us flying down the curve of the world into other tropics and other worlds. “Man, this will finally take us to IT!” said Dean with definite faith. He tapped my arm. “Just wait and see.”

    At any point on this remarkable journey, did one of you stare a the others and say, “Are we there yet??” – just like you did when you were a kid in the back seat of Mom and Dad’s car, going to Grand Forks? Well done boys!! You are there!

    It is amazing that 3 brothers from small town North Dakota have planed this great adventure
    For a great cause and a assume experience for them and their family. I sit here in Hoople , ND
    As a byproduct of this endeavor, since February I have been following the men and just loved the Adventures and challenges that they all endured and all the wonderful people they encountered.
    I always felt so refreshed after reading the latest update and was awestruck at the beauty of there Journey. I have been touched and blessed by the Brotherhood and upon reading that they have reached Their destination, I am Happy and yet I feel this on coming void that I know will not be filled with the same amount of adventure, Happiness, and love. God Speed to the Berg Brothers.

    Nathan, Isaiah and David, I’ve been with you with prayers and on my computer since that Sunday last summer before you left for Alaska when special prayers were said for you at Trinity Bergen. I’ve looked forward to every post – the beauty of the pictures and your writing. I thank God for keeping you safe and keeping you strong in body, mind and spirit. I’m looking forward to your presentation at a Chautauqua program here in Devils Lake this summer.

    Dear David, Isaiah and Nathan,
    I have read about many of your experiences and certainly enjoyed the beautiful pictures. I am proud of each of you and the zest for life that you demonstrate. You guys are the “real deal” and Thank You for what you are doing to make the world a better place. What I most appreciate is how you embody the “mission” of Oak Grove in how you live your lives! Leadership is a work of “heART” and you have accomplished much! I wish you the best as you venture on to new and exciting opportunities. This is an experience that will always be a part of you! Congratulations! Sincerely, Morgan Forness
