We were told by Ed - at the Treatment Center that the bunch of young people that have been coming to our Bible Study on Tuesday evenings are going to sing Amazing Grace at their graduation on March 27. They are going to sing it three times. 1st in Lakota, then in English and finish again in Lakota. We practiced this past Tuesday. I'm scared to say that I am going to accompany them on my guitar. It should be fantastic (not me) -- them!!!! There should be 6 of them singing (5 girls and one boy) plus Ed and us. Perhaps Gary will sit out and just take pictures --- (I had better not let him read this or he will see that as his way out of singing!!)
These kids have really grown close to us......it's so nice to have just a few at a time.....you really get to know them -- have fun with them--- and then they tend to share more...... Like the one gal did with the Banana Song.
So keep March 27 in your minds.....these kids have a week and a half to remain focused on the work they need to accomplish. We are sure they will make it!!
We also had a good Release Time with the older kids....having missed last week because of a snow day. They are very attentive yet and each week someone new seems to shine out.
Our Pastor Tom and Judy will be taking over for us next week as we will be going to Sioux Fall to give an update at First Baptist Church. They will have the younger (more active) group ....... So if you would keep them in your prayers that would be great. This type of work is not new to them so we know it will go well!!!
Thank you for your interest, prayers, and support.
Gary and Barb

As you know each of the kids by name, think of that thought to know that is how God knows us too.
Always glad when you share about these kids and the impact you are having.
Enjoy your Sunday
