STORMS AND SORROW
Water is everywhere this morning, even near the interstate, and there is evidence that it has been over the interstate in spots. We found water in the basement of the church and a leak that we did not know existed in the roof. Funny, the leak was above the pulpit desk, just missing Ray's head. Ha! (Sorry, I have a weird sense of humor)
Surprisingly, we had the highest number of kids that we have had since we started the Sunday School today. It is growing quickly, and others are promising to come. Water on the floor does not daunt them-they play in it, jump in it, run through it, and dance in it. I couldn't share their joy. The dehumidifier is humming away, and we hope that it is better next week.
This week will be a very busy one for us, as Esther is having her senior recital on Friday night. Since she is homeschooled, this is instead of a graduation ceremony. She has been done with her schoolwork for several months, and she and several others have been working hard on this event. Twelve players will be in concert, and there will be a harp and a pianist to help. We have set aside this week to prepare and execute this concert. We hope to get to Lower Brule the next week on the weekend and get more work done there. Esther and I are also planning a VBS in July.
Thank you for your interest in the work in Lower Brule.

This Sunday was a beautiful drive out to Lower Brule. The river was blue and sparkling in the sunlight, and the rolling hills contrasted greens and browns all the way along the river. We were very happy when our friend Harry told us that he had been to Sioux Falls to visit his doctor who gave him a good report. Harry has been through a grueling surgery and a slow recovery. He gave a clear testimony to us when we visited him in the hospital soon after his surgery.
Esther and I took the van out to pick up the kids, and we always enjoy our time with them. They are lively, imaginative children. :)
