Team 4 and time on the CR

Day 1- July 26

    I am a little late posting but here it is finally. So we arrived
close to the middle of the day and just got everything unpacked and
set up in the kitchens and where everyone will be sleeping. The kids
got the best room, the library. We had devotions and made dinner,
which was pretty much all we did that day. After dinner we went to the
only Diary Queen around and almost got locked out of the Teen Center.
The Teen Center was created by the youth on the reservation,
literally. The long time volunteers here sent out surveys about what
the teens wanted if they could have their own center and everything in
the building was what the teens requested.  There is a large, rather
nice, gym where the teens usually play tons and tons of basketball
(which is how they got so amazing at it) and an “Internet Café”.
Besides the Teen Center there are two other buildings. One, which is
right across from the Center, is where the Elders meet and the other,
which is right next to the Center, is a building called the Main, even
though it isn’t on Main Street anymore. The Main is where all the
younger children from grades sixth and under get to hang out and just
play around on the play ground outside. We arrived safely here and
didn’t have any troubles, except for almost losing a watermelon and a
box of apples. We thank God for giving us safe passage here and pray
that he will also help us with our mission to help the people that
live here.
