Hi guys! Guess it’s time for a few updates (my mom is harassing me haha).

Honestly, we have so many stories from these past few weeks. For now, I’d just like to share this story from Moosomin First Nation during Week Two.

The first kids we got at this club were a group of three siblings, who told me on the way that they were tired of social services taking them away from their parents. They were staying on the rez with their kokum and all three had some definite discipline problems. I wasn’t expecting much for verses or lessons from any of them.

On the last day, however, the oldest girl (8) showed up with a pile of lessons we’d given her yesterday. Every one was finished and she’d clearly read through the stories carefully!! I was so impressed, but it was what happened next that really stuck with me:

So all this summer, Jean has been a huge blessing for me. I have a tendency to forget to pray before club, and she is constantly reminding me, both in & outside club, to talk to our Creator. Anyway, on this day Jean was out finishing up craft with some kids, and wasn’t there to remind me to pray before snack.

I began to hand out snack, and all of a sudden I noticed this particular girl, kneeling, her hands folded and eyes closed as she prayed before she ate her snack!! She had never been to church before or had any Christian influence. The only thing I can think is that she learned this from her lessons. I was amazed and seeing this reminded me to pray with the rest of the kids. The transformation I saw in this girl from the beginning of club to the end was incredible!

In total, we had 9 decisions during Week Two. God is so good.
