My prayer was finally answered that I would be able to find a mission trip which would include our entire family! We are so excited.
June 15th-20th we will be traveling with a group from The Tusculum Church in Nashville to Wounded Knee, South Dakota to work on the Pine Ridge Reservation with the Lakota Indians. This is a very poor area and after researching it, I was frankly shocked at how poor these Indians are and how much they need help. I am including a link about the reservation and the Indians that reside there.

We will be in the process of raising money for the trip from here until the end of April, so if you have any fundraising ideas for us - please let us know. We will need to raise approximately $1300 for our entire family to participate. This includes the cost of driving out there (rental car and gas). I can only just imaging what fun I will have with all of us in car for a 20 hour drive! Lord, help us.......
Blessings,
Melissa
