Gina, Dave and Kids Mission Trip to Reservation






Today, we had church on the reservation. We had two baptisms in the river. It was neat. People were there to “party” at the river and they had a big surprise when 45 of us showed up for baptisms!! We all sang “Now I belong to Jesus” and it was very touching. I attached pictures of the river and a picture of Kennedy with Nicky and her baby sister Vicky. Vicky has 4-5 holes in her heart. She is having surgery later this summer.

Have a great week.

Wednesday we went to Rainbow treatment center. (For people with drug and alcohol addictions) We also had church on the reservation. On Thursday and Friday we did the running for supplies in the worship center. We worked on getting the worship center ready for the group of 30 people who arrived late last night. They are all sleeping there instead of at the house. Today, the guys worked on dry wall and the gals put a 2nd coat of paint on the house. Our kids were very busy! Christian and Kennedy painted. Carter killed wasps……J Christian and Beth Smith planted flowers and Carter killed more wasps! Carter also found a snake on the road to the worship center! A Bull snake. I guess it is not really a poisonous snake, but it would make a child pretty sick. A boy from the group picked it up by the head and let Carter touch it. He thought it was cool…..Mom did not! Dave and I cooked tonight for a group of 46 and then we all sat around the fire for devotions.

Next week we are going to be on the reservation working. …..2 bus runs a day because there are so many of us.
