4 months and grabbing his feet!

Church News

We have been encouraged recently with the good attendance and new attendees at our church. We started having a morning service a few weeks ago and since then it seems like we actually have a church group! For a small church on an Indian reservation 19 people seems like a lot. Especially since not that long ago, sometimes there were only 2 people besides us.

When we moved here, we had been told that a morning service probably wasn't the best time. We found that to be true for the kids-sometimes they are still in bed at 1 p.m. when Jordan goes to pick them up for S.S. Anyhow, it felt really weird to us and we tried it once on Easter Sunday. It split up our group and there were only 3 people there for the morning service. About a month ago, some things came up and we talked to some people and they said they would come for a morning service. We still have the Kid's S.S. at 1 and evening worship at 7. We have had good attendance in each service. There are about 6 new ones that have been coming in the last few weeks and keep coming back! Some of the people even come for both Sunday services. We thank the Lord for his help.

I won't tell all since we will be writing a newsletter soon, but some of you may not get our newsletter. If you don't, and would like to receive it, just e-mail us your e-address to satterfieldhome@aol.com

We did get the entryway project completed and it looks wonderful! (compared to before)

Please pray for Kristen, a teen who used to come faithfully with her parents and has moved out of the home.

Also Kayla Uses Arrow needs prayer. She is 19, has a 1 year old, 6 month old twins, I'm pretty sure she is pregnant again and her boyfriend just left her.

We will be leaving tomorrow for the Indian Worker's Convention at Northwest Indian Bible School in Montana. We are excited for some time away. Then the day after we get back, the Marshalls (our Missions Director) will be arriving. So, I won't be blogging for a while.

Swinging high!

Well, she doesn't really swing all that high! She just learned how to push with her feet and swing all by herself on her swing that daddy made for her.

"To the Crocodiles!"

Brianna has said the funniest things in the past few days. She has been playing with her baby dolls a lot and told me that she had to get her babies "situated!" I didn't know she even knew that word!

Then the other morning she woke up with wet panties. Yuck! First time that has happened that I know of anyhow. When she got on the potty she went and went and went. I was like "what in the world?" Because her panties were soaked. Then I remembered that we had forgotten to have her go potty before bed the previous night. Anyhow, that night she had just had some juice and was wanting more. I didn't want to draw attention to the fact that she had an accident just in case the problem might continue, etc. So I said, "No, because you might have problems." She was quiet for a moment and then said, "Mommy, I'm already having problems!" I guess she was desperate for more juice!

She was affected by the death of the 2 1/2 month baby from our church-talks about him dying and not breathing. I try to tell her he's in Heaven, etc. Also, on Sunday, Jordan told the story of Baby Moses and the other babies being thrown to the crocodiles. She came to me tonight and very sadly and concerned said, "My baby died." I was horrified. I mean really, what a thing to pretend! She kept saying it and I told her not to play that way and not to pretend her baby died. She looked at me and said, "I threw her to the crocodiles!"

The last of the zoo pictures!

Sorry if you are totally bored with the zoo pictures. This post is kinda late in coming, but I was having trouble posting pictures for a while there and these were some I wanted to share.

Elizabeth holding "Little Daniel" (that's what she called him-so cute!)

Ever hear a mountain lion scream? It gives you the

heebie jeebies!

There were probably about 10 wolves in different cages. (Some were together) They started howling & barking and got each other all riled up. It was so cool & freaky in a weird sort of way. I was glad for the fences!

3 months!

Can't believe my baby is 3 months! He is growing so fast. We have been having so much fun with him. He's laughing now and just loves Brianna. We have to "make" him smile. All she has to do is walk up to him and he smiles.
