Well, today is March 27, 2009.......Graduation day for the kids at the Alcohol Treatment Center. We were invited to attend this ceremony along with the parents and family. There was a very nice ceremony given for the young people.....lots of encouraging words --- but also warnings that the journey has really just begun. Some still need to do further work (and we don't know what that is)....but their certificate said it was "conditional"while others had a "complete" on their certificate.
Yes, we did get to sing Amazing Grace in Lakota and English.....and the kids did a great job.
We are really going to miss visiting with these kids---they have become VERY dear to us. But I guess the Lord has His hand in this also. We had wanted to give all of them a CD of the Banana Song....ordered it over a week ago...but it did not arrive on time. But the promise has been made --- so now we will get to find out where they live.
Please keep these kids in your prayers: Connie, Dusti, Rhiannah, Cheyenne, Trisha, and Mario.
Thank you so much!!!

Gary & Barb -
Maybe it was supposed to work out this way - now you'll have further contact with these kids. God's plans are always perfect, even if we don't see it. We'll keep praying!
