soooooo, here we are again. Here are pictures of Some South Dakotaness, they are of the retreat that we had in kimball, and as i have mentioned before, they were the bomb diggity amazing, the unity of that community was great and thanks to Dave, Carey, and little red headed baby joseph , the Atmosphre was Great.  By the way the people i just mentioned are the youth ministers there in Kimball but not the baby, for very obvious reasons (he is a baby)

but yea

moving on, literally, we than went to Rapid city, Had a Blast, Host homes amazing, Retreats=amazing, and um retreats= amazing.  We had about 4 retreats in that time and they were Catholic school retreats and the really really cool thing about that is that they all ended in Mass, YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

then we went to Mt. Rushmore and crazy horse and Wind Cave……..bomb DIGGITY!!!!!

It was only days after, that we then ventured into beautiful….not kidding…. Illinoi.  We did  retreats in Stockton, Dixon, Elgin,  Byron, Fulton, We did two confirmation retreats at the last two places, and they went i  have to say really well and of course like always, we had really great host families……oh host families, how i love thee.  Anywho, in Elgin we had a youth gruop night, things where intense and sooooo good!!! loved it.  In Dixon we had a Catholic school Day retreat and a youth group like retreat, and in Stockton we had a two day retreat for all the youth that wanted to come, And one thing i coan say my good young friends is that….Illinoi was the BOMB….no lie…..im not aloud too, HA.  we than ventured back to Montana stopping in Souix falls to stay with Crystal (REACH Alumni) and than in rapid city (ANNIKA) and then to IDAHO FALLS!!! it was a surprise for Jordans mom and we basically just chilled, hung out with Father CALEB and had ashes and lent, oh Lenty lent how amazing thou art.  So i had this like epiphany moment about lent…..it can be mistaken with, dare i say it. duh, yes i would….Lint….. yes, lint……now dont fret my friends, lent is not lint and lint is most definitly not lent so please dont mistake the two.  Just thought i would make it clear for those who dont know. ok, moving on.

we than left Idaho falls for Glasgow, Montana for about a week, on Saturday there was a Retreat for k-5, it went swell, especially because there where little young lings and they where great…….i wasn’t there i was sick (by the way this is martha speaking) But admit it, for a sec you thought i was….admit it, ok you dont have to…i guess. The next day on sunday we Had a retreat for all seniors, whech went really well and it was sooo cool because they received palancas from all their loved folk people group things….yea, it was touching. we ended in mass and than had a 6-11th grade retreat and it was a blast. Hasd some of the senior folk stay for that and it was just cool. And once again, Thank you Host Homes! they watched for us the sickly, because you see, there was this cold and flu epedemic that swept throught the young (us) Reach team….actually it was just the cold and stuff, nothing epic. We had Enchiladas one night…and that made me happy because as you might not have known, the midwest has a loack of mexican food, they do not know what they are missing……….
