Sights from Rapid City and South Dakota

Our SOTV crew in front of Mount Rushmore. Really, promise, it's back there :)

There is a basketball court that we're free to use at our shower site! Had a blast, though after a few minutes of fun everyone could have used another shower :)

Freshly showered and silly after a great first day at work sites


Wednesday night we had the opportunity to go to a pow wow at a Lakota Sioux Lutheran Church in Rapid City. Our youth honored our hosts by watching and--best of all--dancing with them when invited! It was a dusty, sweaty blast.


Black Hills Works was one of our work sites for the week. It is a day center where adults with disabilities have opportunities to make art, exercise, do other activities and even work for a paycheck! Those of us at the site had a fabulous experience and made many new friends
