South Dakota - Day 1

We're here! We had a couple short, great flights with no delays or anything on Saturday! The schedule worked out great so that we were able to wander through Minneapolis, grab a bite to eat and then head to South Dakota with no rush and no sitting around waiting! Everyone is doing great and the teens are really connecting not only with each other, but also with the teens here who are helping with Global Expedition!


Yesterday was a long and busy day. We began with breakfast and then helped out with Children's Church, while others began preparing for Global Expedition! A few also had the opportunity to attend church - which was a great experience! After spending the afternoon running about setting up for Global Expedition the kids began coming and things really got going last evening! Our team divided up and partnered with the people here to help in many different areas! Some are helping with games, some with crafts, some with registration, some with worship, and we even helped with the drama and media last night!




Today we'll be helping clean up some flood damage...YES! It has been just as wet here as it has been at home and they have had some flooding - but it has made everything a BEAUTIFUL green color! Then after a couple hours to relax this afternoon, we'll head to China with Day 2 of Global Expedition!

Everyone is doing great and says hello! They're already very tired :-)
