Another work day for all of us. Up at 7, off to work groups about 9. We're painting a house for an elder here in Heart Butte and another one in Browning. At times there seems like there's more paint on the kids than on the house, but at the end of the day, the houses are looking amazing! These kids are really hard workers! At one of the houses, the family has brought out food, sodas and popsicles for the kids. They also invited the kids inside to show them their leather and beadwork. We're all definitely being exposed to the native culture in a personal way.
Last night we had Youthworks Olympics. All the different workgroups (there are 6 of them with kids from all the different groups), competed against each other in field games. Great fun was had by all! All of the kids are working together and enjoying the new friends they're making!
Each evening during "Club Time" (worship and devotional), the kids get a chance to recognize the wonderful things that they see in their peers with a "Flannel-tastic!!!" They also recognize each other with a "Yay God!" when they see God working in each other. It's been a moving experience for many of them.
That's all for now.
