Luke and Steven have been helpingwith the school here on campus that have about 15 students doing the ACECurriculum. All of them except 4 are high school age.Sara, Megan and Lindsey have been working so hard in the sorting house wherethey are sorting through things that have been donated for the Christmasgift drive they have. Pretty soon they will be putting together the giftsand we will be helping them deliver them.Charity has been manning the clothing house. It is a house full of clothingthat people can come get for free. There is also a pot of coffee on all dayfor those who are in need of a warm pick me up.On Wednesday evening we hosted a skating party for young kids who live in adormitory close bye. It was so much fun watching the kids try to skate andour team teaching them how to skate or helping them. Luke especially was themain attraction that night. He had a flock of followers wherever he went.Friday night we helped with their youth program called Rez Warriors. Wedrove around and picked up most of the youth. We had games and did a readingabout the advent candles. Many of these youth come from very harsh familylifestyles so this evening is a chance for them to have fun and be youth.The team is doing really well. We have spent a lot of time playing games andhanging out with one another in our free time. We really miss Settlers! :-)(except Sara) We have Saturdays as a free day. We shall be heading to Farmington thisafternoon.Thanks for your prayers and continue to pray for open doors to buildrelationships.Charity & The Team
