Hello all! Morgan here! As we welcome group three to the field today we find ourselves with a much smaller group of people than last week. The past week, week two, went tremendously well! We had VBS in the mornings in five villages; Choulic, Topawa, KaKa, Chui- Chu, and Gunsight. All five had wonderful outcomes and were highly successful. In the afternoons and evenings we spent time working on various tasks such as the new ramada and repairing fences. On Thursday the team split up to accomplish two tasks. The majority of us went to Topowa for a much welcomed block party. We had hamburgers and hotdogs, face painting, games, and fellowship. The other remaining few traveled with Pastor Jay Juan to Ajo to attend a candle light ceremony and wake for a young girl who was murdered unexpectedly the week before. As tragedies such as this one occur, it makes us truly thankful for all of those who are attending trips and being His hands and feet on the reservation. The three groups that were here (Grace Baptist, First Baptist of Fulton, and Bible Baptist) all had special places in our hearts. Bible Baptist being Heather's home church, Grace Baptist being Holly and Autumn's home church, and FBC Fulton being close friends of mine, we all had a terrific week serving with our friends!

This upcoming week is going to be just as great i just know! The team is eager to get out there and get VBS and block parties rolling. Every evening after VBS we will travel to specific villages and gather with the community for an evening of worship, fellowship, and fun. Block parties give us a great opportunity to build relationships in the villages!

I think that just about covers it all! I hope you all have a great week and ask that you would continue to pray for us here! Love you all :)
