God has blessed our Mission greatly and we pray that many will enter the Kingdom of Heaven through the knowledge of Christ Jesus. Jan 13 was the first time using the new-to-us 12 passenger van. With funds from the SD LWML and LLL the SD District purchased 2 second hand 12 passenger vans for our mission. Before this van you might imagine the amount of trips we had to make driving to and from the near by housing area to pickup both adults and children and then return them back to their homes. 
On Jan 18Th we received the second 12 passenger van that had been in a garage receiving some mechanical work. Here are both the vans with the mission team. You can see the Episcopal Church in back of us. This is the Church we have been borrowing and allowed to use for the last 2 years. We have regular church services, Sunday school, both adult and children's crafts and a noon meal (about 1 PM ish Indian time).

This is the first Church building that we had the opportunity to use. We were invited to come to this Church by the Pastor of this Native American Church of Jesus Christ. He ask if we could teach the children and Rev. Utecht had replied, "I not only want to teach the children but also feed the souls of the adults with the true word of God". We had to sit around the edge on the floor on a thin carpet runner. We were just happy the building had electricity even though we had to pay to keep it in service. What wonderful memories I have of the mission work and the people we were teaching. We still remember them in our prayers as most no longer attend our mission. Zechariah 4:6 Not by might nor by power but by
My Spirit says the Lord Almighty.
