We held our first retreat for the 08-09 Team in Mountain Home, Arkansas. It was a long 6 hour drive up (and back too!) but truly the ride is half the fun. The retreat had 60 kids all preparing for Confirmation, and it was a really good experience. We did funny skits, gave talks, had small groups, team building, and Mass. Basically our job is to get the kids more enthused for Christ, and hopefully make at least a small impact on each of their lives. God, Help us!

This is Joshua Dutchover (Dutch) and Karen, who are always, always cracking each other up! Literally. Here they took the Cheez-it Challenge, where they tried to discuss a Cheez-it, which is one of Dutch's favorite snacks, without cracking up.
As you can see, it didn't go so well.

These are part of the notes my small group members left me at the end of the day - they made me very happy!
