Mission, South Dakota

Leave a Comment/ 512/ 0

Welcome to Mission, South Dakota where AT & T cell phone coverage is non-existent!! Everyone else here seems to have some kind of coverage but me…..the lone AT & T phone but even theirs is spotty. The great thing—wireless internet so tonight once I got settled in I was able to Skype with Chris so that was even better than a phone call because we could see each other! Amazing that I miss him so much already. 🙁

We had a good trip out—-I rode with Bob and we were fortunate that we had an extra car coming out or I don’t think my suitcase would have made it!!! We were all pretty jam packed filled with all kinds of things to use this week or to donate including 3 power chairs and 5 wheelchairs. Medical care here is sketchy to say the least. They may be able to see a doctor but if they are told to keep off a broken leg, for example, where we would be given crutches to get around –there are no funds or provisions for anything like that so you can imagine that medical equipment is really needed.

On the trip out we were able to see many eagles and hawks and pheasants –the landscape is beautiful. We stopped at Al’s Oasis for buffalo burgers (Yum) and arrived here on the reservation around 4:30 with no problems. Great trip, good conversation and I am making new friends. We got our orientation from Russell and are settling in for the night. Morning will come early. Too early I am afraid!!! I have a room to myself—the advantage of being the one single lady here ! We have 9 team members here tonight, more will be coming on Wednesday but some will be leaving on Wednesday and Thursday so our numbers will fluctuate. I am in for the long haul so I will be able to meet more people and have more interaction hopefully with the Lakota people. I am excited and pray that God uses me!!!!

Goodnight to all. Glad I can blog while I am here—hopefully I will be able to write about something interesting!!! But for now my brain is tired as is my body….

Old Girls in Low Cotton

This short book was one that looked like it would be a fun read. I honestly did not enjoy it all that much---it was a lot of characters bickering and while some of the writing was witty and funny it was not that kind of book that made m...

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

All the Light We Cannot See

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

An Abundance of Katherines

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
