We are stepping through 'the gate' into the unknown in some areas of our lives, and especially in the area of the work in Lower Brule. I have taken the responsibility of teaching two classes-EN 101 and EN 102- at the Lower Brule Community College. I have been thoroughly enjoying this experience in my life. I find the students to be bright and eager to learn, for the most part. They are respectful and cooperative. While I am teaching, Ray has time in which he has been visiting the men who come to church. We stay over on Sunday nights and teach the classes on Mondays, and return to Mitchell after classes on Monday night. This seems to be working well.
We were thrilled to entertain Mike and Vivian Pile, friends who have been with us through 'thick and thin' since college. We had some wonderful times together during the week that they stayed with us. They came with us over to Lower Brule on Sunday, and it was an encouragement to have them with us. They took several pictures and we will share them with you. The above picture was taken at Shakespeare Gardens in Wessington Springs where we stopped on our way home from the mission. 
Did I mention that it was a hot day that Sunday? It registered 104 degrees on the car thermometer.
This is a building that is in Lower Brule that was decorated by teen boys from the village. The people are often very artistic and talented.
The kids are usually and interested audience.
They love to lead the singing.
We were very happy when the Faith Missionary Council voted to help buy a van to haul the kids in to Sunday School. This is a $3000.00 expense with which they need help from those who are interested in the work there. This van will relieve a heavy burden on us when we transport them to and from church.
