Greetings from Kimball, South Dakota
we the people here (St. Clare Team) is experiencing a very convenient heat wave in SD, so we started out spending the night at Sheas home, which was Amazing!! than we went to Bozeman, Montana, we ate some, and boeled some, with Jordans cool friends who go to college there. the next day we headed out on our ten hour road trip to where we are now, Kimball, Montana!! and basically we just have to say that the people here are very amazing, the youth director, the Priest, the host families and most importantly, The Youth.
we had a mini retreat for k-6th graders at the church in White lake (15 minutes from Kimball) and the kids where so cool and very fun, later that day we had a retreat go from 5:30-9:30 p.m. and that went really well, some connections where definitely made with those kids!
today we went on two tours, first we went to the tractor museum and had amazing tour guieds who had a lot of Great information about all the artifact that they had, later in the afternoon we went to the old Church and had the tour guide (Lucille) show us around, she was amazing and also had a lot of fun stories too share.

we are all really excited for the upcoming retreat for the confirmation kids this weekend, we will be staying up at a hunters lodge called….i dont remember, something about fiery wings of something, it’s pretty exciting!!!

so this is the beginning of our adventure and so far everything is sooo good. pictures are and there are more to come……seriously,
everyone take care and may God seriously Bless You all!!
lots of amazing love, St. Clare Team (Team Supreme)

Well, we’ve made it.  We’re in Boise staying with Nick’s family.  We had Thanksgiving dinner with them and we’ll be doing retreats all next week.  Jordan is with her family in Burley, ID but will be returning to us tomorrow.  Wonderful!!!

The past few weeks have been full of adventures (pictures to come soon… but not yet ).  After Penticton we returned to Yakima for a short rest, did an overnight retreat in Pasco, WA, and then left for Vancouver, BC.  We definitely have gotten our share of Canada trips, and it seems no matter where we’re traveling it always rains.  Well, the Vancouver area brough on the rain in true form, pouring the whole week we were there!  We had 5 retreats in 6 days in 5 different Vancouver area towns (North Vancouver, Delta, Burnaby, Abbotsford, Maple Ridge).  It was an adventure for sure!  And in the midst of all that we got to visit a little town called Fort Langley (we crossed the shortest ferry ride ever) and we celebrated Halloween by dressing up Wizard of Oz style.  Melissa was Dorthy, Martha was the Wicked Witch, Jordan was the cowardly Lioness, Shea was the Good Witch Glenda, Jake was the Tinman, and Nick was the Scarecrow (once again, pictures to come).  After Vancouver, we again had a couple of days break, where we were kickin it in Yakima before heading to Bellingham/Everett area.  Weekend retreat in Bellingham for a great group of high schoolers, and then a week in Everett, where we got to see all the sights.  Many, many thanks to Melissa and Jordan’s host dad, who gave us a personal tour of the Boeing Factory.  That was Tuesday.  Wednesday Melissa and Jordan went to a hockey game while Jake, Nick, Martha and I went to a local young adults bible study.  One of the guys there offered to take us on the U.S.S. Lincoln Aircraft Carrier that happened to be parked in the Everett harbor.  Thursday we went to Seattle to walk around Pike’s Place Market and visit friends and Seattle Pacific University.  And Friday, before the retreat, we got a personal tour of the U.S.S. Lincoln, which was a lot like walking around a small city.  It houses 5500 people when out to sea, and we walked up and down all 18 flights of stairs numerous times (there will be pictures of the boat and us upon it….soon).  We then did a retreat for Casey Ross’s middle school group at a beautiful camp outside of Cle Elum, WA.  And then we were back in Yakima, and now we’re in Boise.
