By this time, you are all aware that I had a hard time keeping up with my blog during LJ Week. There was so much going on every day that I just couldn't keep up with the blog posts, especially since I didn't have wifi in the dorms. I'm going to try to keep these next couple posts to a quick overview, so that I can go back to my daily blog posts.
I went through my routine on Wednesday morning just the same as I had the past couple days-- nothing new until it came time for session. Session that morning was shared with us by a man named Bob. He is a pastor at a local church called the Carpenter Shop. He came to speak to us about how his ministry got started and the ways God was working in his life out here on the rez.
Bob's sermon was very different than Pastor Utecht's the day before, but it was really cool having a native pastor come to speak to us. They are the ones who are continuing the ministry out here after we are gone, so it's important to hear their perspective especially during LJ week.
After session, it was time for brunch. Then I just kind of chilled for a couple hours. By this time, I remember thinking that the week was tiring me out, but at the same time, I was sad that the week was almost over. I had considered starting to work on my blog, but Greg called asking if I wanted to help him with something.
Greg always mumbles, or his phone is broken, so I didn't really know what I he was asking of me, but I told him I would meet him in the front of the cafeteria. When I got over there, he said he needed to pick up supplies for Anne Moran's roof, because he and a couple people from SSEFC were repairing part of it. He really hates driving alone, so that's the only reason I was with.
By the time we got over to Anne Moran's to drop off the supplies, most of the people from SSEFC were gone, so I spent a couple minutes handing Greg and Brian the supplies from the deck to the roof. That didn't last for long, though, because both Greg and I wanted to head out to SF to see some kids and have dinner.
After a couple hours in SF, Greg and Brian went back to Mission, but I wanted to spend as much time as possible with some of the kids, so I rode back on the bus. That brought back some pretty great memories! I loved the bus rides to and from Rosebud at the beginning and end of LJ Weeks in past summers, and I also enjoy bus rides to and from SF. Such a beautiful, serene drive.
We all got back in time for snack, sharing, and worship, then it was time to move everybody into the dorms to start getting ready for bed. Jonny, Greg, and I hung out for a bit that night. We had an absolute blast. Definitely the most fun we had had all week, aside from spending time at Kids Club in SF.
A couple hours later we called it a night, and we made our way back to the dorms for bed. What a great way to end the night.
Thanks for reading.
God Bless,
