We are happy that Ray has felt well enough to come out to Lower Brule on Sundays, and even to preach after he gets there. The men have been happy to have him back. They are a warm and friendly group.
We have welcomed the warmer weather, though yesterday was cold again, but it has made the work out there much easier.
The children are a blessing to us, and we cherish our time with them. They are lively, but so well-behaved. One family hadn't come for the last two Sundays, and when we stopped at their house Sunday morning, a grandpa informed us that they were with their mother at her work. We stopped at her office (she is an attorney), and the kids decided to come with us for an hour or so. Esther felt that the mother was a bit relieved for them to come with us. :) We dropped them back at the office after Sunday School. I was encouraged when one little girl confided that her grandpa said that he is going to come to 'our' church some Sunday. The work is slow, but Lower Brule seems open to the church. 
We are anticipating the Good Friday Service this Friday evening. We spent quite awhile Sunday afternoon distributing fliers announcing this service. We hope for some new contacts. A couple of neighboring churches are planning to come and help us in this service. We are looking forward to having communion with our brothers and sisters in the Lord.
