We have four groups working off-site among different Navajo families and five groups working on-site at Immanuel Mission. Our jobs range from pulling weeds to painting, from destroying buildings to putting them up. We will be working on these projects for the next three days and will hopefully make a lasting impact not only with the work we do but with the relationships we are forming.
Arizona has some of the most amazing weather that we have ever seen. We worked all morning in the blazing heat but thankfully the Lord cooled us off with afternoon showers. The cloud formations are unreal and have taken the breath of most of us on the trip. God's creative beuaty is clearly seen on the reservation.
Today was also the first day of Kids Club. Kids Club is a ministry were members of the team are split up into teams (groups of 5-6) and dispersed throughout the reservation to various Navajo families. Navajo culture places a huge importance on children and we use the avenue of kids club to reach out to the whole family. During our time with the family we eat snacks, make crafts and share Bible stories with the kids. Tonight we shared the story of David and Goliath and the awesome truth that God is our helper and strength. Tomorrow marks day two of the work pro and we will fill you in on the adventures to come.
Also Natalie Moog would like to wish Jim Foster a big happy birthday and to let him know that herself and Jason are praying for his surgery.

Thank you so much for taking the time to update us and post the photos....absolutely LOVE being able to see some of the action. May God continue to impress you all with His Might, Passion, Faithfulness and Attention! We are thrilled to have the privilege of participating in your journey....by praying.
Please give huge hugs to our daughter (Carina) and our niece (Sarah)!!!!!! It meant the world to us to see their pictures!
Thanks for your detailed updates Dan. They provide a unique way to stay in touch with the ministry going on down there. My only request is that you post more pictures of Nick Breitbart and Ryan Weber. Thank you.
D-Bo... The MSM Kids want to know if it's OK if they TP your house while you are gone... I told them I thought you would probably appreciate the attention.

Bradley Lide, your mother still loves you and Dad sends his love too. Howdy to more of my Belize buddies, Lea, Jeremy, Dan G. Tim, Christina and Kristin. I know that I have left some out only because I do not know that you are there. To Chad, the A's beat the Angels 12-6 in a long somewhat tedious game-who cares "we" won. Advice for the day--stay hydrated.
hey all. you don't know how much i wish i could be there with you guys. i was driving around san diego thursday night thinking about how i should have been asleep waiting for the big day on friday. it was a rough thought. this is the first time in six years that i haven't gone. and it is weird for me. but just know that i am continuously praying for you guys and love you all so much.
