Greetings!!!

This here is martha from the St. Benedict Reach team. Finally we have been able to put up some posts!!! woot woot!!! anywho, The Year has started and man did it start of well. Our team started the year with a weekend retreat in Prince George B.C., Canada We Stayed with a Former REACH Team member Mark Raine and his Family. We left for Canada on Wednesday the 30th of September and made the road trip up, Going through the boarder was a great adventure. We decided that a chinese fire drill was maybe not a good idea, and so due to our very wise decision, we made it through safely and unharmed. Though we did have to get out of the vehicle and such, but, still, we made it through. We stayed that night in Penticton B.C. With another former REACH Team memver, Karl Trautmans Family, THANK YOU!!! than the next day we had a long long long drive to Prince George. We had an amazing meal waiting for the Team and we thoroughly enjoyed it. THANKYOU SO MUCH!!!! Friday night we started the Retreat, The Team was very excited for this retreat seeing as it was the first Retreat we were going to be doing this year, we had planned this retreat together and so we were all very excited to get it started, the kids came in one at a time, and when the time came the team started the retreat.
