Spearfish and Rapid City Walks

Thanks so much to everyone who has been praying for the Walk for Midwives. God is definitely blessing us! We had a great start with our first 2 Walks today. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, and it was wonderful getting to meet with everyone.

There were almost a dozen of us in Spearfish where we were hosted by CNM, Jeanne Prentice at her WomanKind Midwifery clinic. We walked along some beautiful trails along Spearfish Creek and then up and down Main Street. The local paper, The Black Hills Pioneer sent a reporter who interviewed me and took a picture of some of us in front of our banner. Look for it in tomorrow's paper.

In Rapid City we had around 50 supporters including District 33 Representative Phil Jensen, who has been a champion for us in the state legislature. We so appreciate his taking the time out of his busy schedule to come and walk with us. It was such a blessing to see so many beautiful families who are concerned about this issue. Cassie took some great pictures. I'll post a couple here and get more put on our Walk For Midwives Facebook Page. They tell the story so much better than I can.

Cassie and I will be on the road by 5 am tomorrow morning in order to make our first walk in Chamberlain tomorrow at 9:30am. We are also really looking forward to our Walk in Mitchell that begins at 6pm.
