We took a 25-member team to the Hopi Reservation (Arizona) and Zuni Pueblo (New Mexico) July 1 - 7. This was definitely the largest group we've taken from Riverside, CA and one of the most challenging & exciting trips ever :-)

HOPI - Our time on Hopi went by too fast. We did a small work project in Kykotsmovi that consisted of putting a new roof onto a building belonging to one of our friends, Lucinda Guss. Our men worked on that roof in 100+ degree weather! The rest of us visited our many friends.
ZUNI - In Zuni Pueblo we took part in the 9th Annual Zuni Youth Conference, sponsored by the Zuni Tribe, which culminated with our "Family Fun Night" event. The sessions we were responsible for were Gang Awareness and Anger Management. Over 100 kids attended the Conference. Members of our team assited the Shesche/Kucate family family in painting and repairing their Kiva, the place for all religious activities, the construction of a bread oven, an important item in the life of Zuni women.
We went home excited and are looking forward to going back next time. Again, thanks to everyone who provided, prayed and participated by going. We can't do this without faithful people like YOU!
