The Last Two Days
Yesterday, we left Denver at about 8 in the morning. The weather was rainy and cold; a nice break from New Mexico weather haha. The drive time was about twelve hours.. a lot longer than we expected. It seemed like every time we stopped it took at least an hour. Upon arriving at the Sanctuary, everyone was more than tired of being in the van. We all met Chug and Karen, then ate a super tasty feast of spaghetti and meatballs. We went over the rules, had some awesome small group time, then hit the hay. Today, we ate breakfast and learned a little about the customs of the Lakota sioux people. After we went to a Bow making class, we learned a lot about the people and how their traditions effect who they are. It was really fun to talk to the people and just kinda hear about their lives. It got pretty rainy so we couldn't work outside, but we were blessed to hear a message from Andrew. God really spoke through him. Now we are at the lodge where everyone is either napping or running around. We have had some trials already such as a student who had an ear infection, the weather, and a plumbing leak. Its funny how God already worked everything out. The student has medicine and is now feeling a lot better, and our good friend Dom has a mysterious background in plumbing so he was able to get it cleared up pretty easily.... well the weather is still being mischievous but I know that God will work it all out. He is GOOD.

Sounds like the start of a fruitful trip! Mission trips always have problems, simply because the enemy knows that you guys are doing God's work, and he doesn't want that to happen. Stay strong, turn to God in every situation, good and bad. Now we've seen what the enemy's gonna do to stop you, I can't wait to see what God's going to do to prosper you!
