January 2014
An OSLC member named "An Older Child of God" left several copies of the card to the left in our Treasure Box for the Youth Group kids. One for each the kids and one to share with a friend or person in need of encouragement. They asked that we keep the card somewhere that we can see it everyday. Maybe on the bathroom mirror, the dash of our car or our locker at school. What a great idea! Always Remember..... we are Children of God!

JAKE SCOFIELD WRESTLES IN FLORIDA AT THE DISNEY DUALS! July 2013
JAKE SCOFIELD
OSLC's Jake Scofield, an upcoming senior at Flandreau High School, attends the Disney Duals the first week in July 2013! South
Dakota took three teams to the National Wrestling competition, Disney Duals;
held at the Wide World of Sports ESPN Center in Orlando, Florida. There was a
development team, a South Dakota Blue team and a South Dakota Red team. To be
on the development team you were not a SD State B Wrestling place winner. To be
in contention to be on the Blue and Red teams you had to be a SD State B
Wrestling place winner. The kids wrestled off to determine who was on which
team. The winners of the wrestle offs were on the Blue team. Jake placed fourth
in the SD State B wrestling tournament held in Feb 2013 and was defeated in
wrestle offs by Lane Blasius, the individual that placed second at the state
tournament. Therefore, Jake was on the South Dakota Red team. The Red team
wrestled in a pool of 8 teams from; two different teams from Ohio and
Massachusetts, and then a team from each Michigan, New York, and Florida. How
they placed in their pools determined which placing bracket they were in. The
Red team placed 6th in their pool. They proceeded then
to wrestle two different teams from Massachusetts, two different teams from
Michigan and they had to wrestle the same team from Nebraska twice, losing to
them in the first match, but came back through wrestle backs and won, to place
5th in their bracket of 12 team’s
total. Jake’s overall record for the 4 day event was 7 and 5 (7 wins 5 loses).
Jake said “it was a great experience; there are a lot of really good wrestlers
there and it was great experience for me! The other big benefit from the event
is all the new friendships made along the way!” Jake also said “I couldn’t have
done it without the support of this great community and the prayers of Our
Saviors Lutheran Church, it was an amazing experience!”
