Thankful for you....

So here we are...Jake, Shane, Mark, Jake, Hans, Fred, Denise, Me, Melissa, Matty, Sabrina, Amanda, Alaina, Dan, Peter and Toni.

Training is over and I'm still trying to catch up on my sleep.

The pic above is from this past weekend. We were invited to King's Lake Camp up north of Deer Park, WA. We had a fun weekend full of camp fires, paddle boats, canoes, fish feeding, nature walking, food eating, movie making, guitar playing and many other things. It was a great way to end training before everyone gets on the road doing what they came here to do...RETREATS.

Lately I have really been appreciating the community I have around me. Not only REACH but the great Catholic people in Yakima that make it a priority to be in community and to support eachother in our walk with God. I so appreciate where God has brought me.

For those of you in the community (and with Reach) reading this...
thank you for sharing you life and your faith with me...you are really a blessing in my life.

Peace to you....Laura

Team Photo BLOOPERS!

So I took the pictures for the team pages (which you should check out!!) But all did not go smoothly. I thought you might enjoy these "out takes" from picture day.

Here's one of the first pics I've taken this year. The first pic is Jake W, Jake C, Peter and Shane at the Record Family's house. The second pic is Alaina happy about the pancakes. It was PJ's and Pancakes night. This is just one of the great things we've gotten to do so far this training.

Since my last blog we have gone through almost 2 weeks of training, Melissa has joined the team so we now have 15 team members, they have been put into teams, we learned to swing dance at the Sevigny's and we have really bonded as a group. God is so Good. Continue to pray for us and all those that support and sponsor us. We could not do this with out them.
