This past week has been wild. Its hard to believe that I've only been in Manderson for 6 days. So far we have traveled to Rapid City to get supplies, including an awesome orange high back wing chair. We have gone from a house with nothing to having a table and chairs, a rug, 1 comfy chair, some beds on the way and a love seat and another comfy chair on the way. It is amazing that God has worked through people to get us the things that we need to live comfortably.
On Wednesday night we helped out at the community night at the school. They had movies and bingo. It was fun to play volleyball with the some of the kids before the movie started. Katriina and I walked out side to supervise and we were immediately asked to join a game. It was so much fun to just jump in a hit the ball back and forth between teams. Also we have made friends with our postmaster at the post office named Janis. She is a very kind woman. A couple of the girls who live next door have also been over to play the last couple of nights. Their names are Arlene, Lane, and Samantha. We baked cookies with them the other night and it was lots of fun.
I start at the school on Monday and I'll be working 10 hours a week in a kindergarten classroom. Also I am going to be starting the week after next at 555 White Clay which works with local Lakota craftsmen and women. I hope to also get involved with a church near Manderson.
I am looking forward to tomorrow night, I'll be sleeping on a bed for the first time in a week and a half.
Prayer Requests:
-God's direction in where I should serve
-Teammate dynamics
