Another busy month has passed us by as we have busily been preparing for our mission trip to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. After the big storm that passed through town we spent one Wednesday night and went around and picked up sticks at a couple people's houses. The next Wednesday we went and helped Dick and Crystal weed their flower beds! It is so fun being able help out when needed and get some fresh air and a little exercise at the same time!

We prepared a simple meal of grilled hot dogs, beans, chips and root beer floats to celebrate Kid's Day and Teacher Appreciation Day. Even though the weather didn't cooperate we still managed to play a few games with the younger kids before the food was served.

On the Sunday that Pastor Dan was gone to Synod Assembly we shared the message about our stained glass windows.
As I type, we are 3 days away from departing on our Mission Trip. We plan on stopping in Sioux City and picking up Dave and Arnold and are very excited that they will be able to make one more trip with us. We are going to miss them a lot. We plan to make stops in Mitchel, SD to see the Corn Palace and in Wall, SD so everyone can see the "famous" Wall Drug. We are staying overnight Saturday at Calvary Lutheran Church in Rapid City. We will be up early Sunday morning to go visit Mt. Rushmore, Custer State Park, Wind Cave and Hot Springs before heading back through the Badlands to Wounded Knee School District where we will be staying the rest of the week. The theme this year is "The Good Life" and we look forward to sharing more about that and some of our experiences with everyone when we get back on Sunday, June 25!
