We are here...having a blast!

We have arrived in South Dakota and are doing well. The fact that 15 vehicles made it with no problems is a huge blessing. We are enjoying our second day with the children at the Youth Center and are forming some pretty strong bonds. Most of these children are very reserved at first but quickly "latch on" when they feel safe. As you will see from the pics they obviously feel safe! :) We are enjoying our time together as a team and are learning to live in very tight quarters.



South Dakota 2009- What a group!

Unloading our 16 foot truck that was FILLED!


The kids made vases and flowers the first day.



The busy, busy craft room.



Thank you to whomever donated the dress up clothes...they LOVED them!




New friends





Our men tried to keep up with the Lakota kids in a game of basketball...didn't go so well. :)


Tomorrow is our carnival and we are busy preparing for a huge turnout. We have over 5,000 prizes ready to give to the kids. They are SO excited. And so the team is getting along, our kids are having a blast, we are doing good work...life is good. Stay tuned.

    Our prayers are with all of you for endurance as by this point you are running low on energy. I pray you last day sends you home with the joy of the Lord in your heart. Stay safe and know you are special to us here and in the eyes of God.

    Love the pictures! We're praying that your last day on the reservation will be a good one and that you all have a safe trip back. Can't wait to see pictures of the carnival!
