And the real trip begins

Sunday the Our Lady of Lourdes team began their two month road trip. We began it by going to Couer d'Alene on Sunday and spending the night there. We got there just in time to go to the evening youth mass, and from there went to Fernando's house, a friend of Jake's, with whom we spent the night. We sat around in the kitchen, enjoying a dinner of chicken and potato salad. From there we met up with Chris and Cassie at Gooeys, and got four sundaes to share between the 9 of us, all of which were about the same size as Jaci's head. After going back home, we played some guitar, sang some songs, shared Reach and NET stories (Fernando was on NET Australia for two years) and ended up staying up till about 4 in the morning laughing and reminiscing. The following morning, we once again piled into out Astro van, and headed to Montana. We arrived in Bosman that night, and spent some time with Shane who was on Reach 2001-2002 and 2004-2005. We ate some spaghetti, then met some of his friends together at the movie theatre where we went to go see Cloverfield. After the movie the girls headed back to our host home, while the boys headed back with Shane. We met this morning at Shane's place, had some cereal, had some good conversation with Shane about Reach and life in general, and once again have piled into the Astro van. We are currently on the road once more, this time headed to Gillette Wyoming, where we will be meeting some more of Meghan's family, and spending the night with them before, you guessed it, piling back into the van for our next destination. Please continue to pray for us as this trip continues, for the retreats we will be doing, for our safety on the road, and for the health of our team. It seems with all the close perimeters, and constant moving, we are more prone to sickness, and your prayers in this matter especially are greatly appreciated.

God Bless,
The Our Lady of Lourdes Reach Team
