Mehvish and Karen pose for Shay at a lovely house they are painting. A good time was had by most... Mike and Forrest,too. We five are in what we call Crew Two.This is Shay with two fine men ! Jesse and Jon from Michigan. (Great painters!)
Some, however, took some time out to play. After working very hard of course. Forrest and Mike were happy to have a break from the constant chaos at Kids Club on Tuesday.
Today (Wednesday) we took a trip to the Little Bighorn Battlefield monument. There was a beautiful view and it was nice to get a break from the reservation.
Some of the groups have time to do some extra curricular activities before their daily ministry begins. For example, We had a chance to participate in a prayer walk with a local pastor around some of the neighborhoods of Lame Deer. This was AMAZING!! people would approach us asking for prayer. Some people would even let us into their homes for prayer. God is showing us His love everywhere. We went into the prayer walk with some hesitancy because we don't see these "normal" results happen Salt Lake so easily.
Other extra curricular activities included spending time with people in retirement homes, reading to children at the local boys and girls clubs, etc. I heard that all these activities were a blast!
After a long day of work, it's nice to have some free time. All the groups get done with their projects usually around 3:30. When we arrive back at the high school, we have a couple of hours of free time to shower and clean up. When 6:00 rolls around, we have dinner and usually a night activity (like Little Bighorn). Every night after the activity, we have "Club Time". This is where all the youth groups gather in one room and debrief cool things we saw God doing, sing worship songs, and have some prayer. After "Club Time", we break into our specific church groups. We have had some really good conversation and awesome prayer time with our group. We're learning that God's call can be hard but so rewarding and filled with blessings!
