Monday means Work-day...


We arrived at Immanuel Mission late on Saturday night safe and ready for bed. We went straight to bed after unpacking and we were rested and ready for our time on the Reservation to start on Sunday morning. We woke up and went out to Green Valley for our traditional Outdoor church and communion. We found a wonderful spot (in the shade this year) to have our service.

We woke up this morning ready to go to work. We currently have four teams working offsite doing things like roofing, painting and building a shed. We also have four teams working on projects around the mission such as
cleaning out the cattle crossing, weeding, trimming trees and building a retaining wall.

We are also leading a basketball camp for the Navajo children. They are already working hard and learning lots of new skills. There are about 24 children attending and I am sure t
hat number will grow throughout the rest of the day and evening!! It should be a lot of hard work and fun for that team.

We are all very excited to get to our Kid's Club sites tonight to reunite with our Navajo families.

Thank you so much for your prayers. We can really feel God moving and motivating us to work hard for Him!!

Please tell Lula I said hi! And i hope people see the clarks too, give them all my love.

And I will let my mom know of the change in blog, so she can post A's scores. I'm a little out of touch here in So Cal!

Remember, drink water!

A's scores? Anybody really want them? The best news is that Blanton is stinking up somebody else's roster now. Um,
let's see, swept by the Yankees, shut out 4-0 Monday in Tampa, and have lost 6 in a row. We're in 3rd place, nine games out, behind Texas. In the last 21 innings we have only scored one run. Sad.

Have an awesome time and if you love baseball be glad you love Jesus more. He won't let you down in the second half of the season.

I feel sad that I don't recognize most of the people in the pictures (thanks, Tony Santoro, for showing up in a bunch!).
