The rest of the trip was great -- "out west" is quite beautiful! We saw snow capped mountains before we headed North on I-90 into Montana. Everyone enjoyed exploring at Devil's Tower -- see pics.

We learned about what our week will be like after we arrived at the church we are staying at and we met the staff - all college students - they will be alot of fun! They say that the natives are very welcoming and that Youth Works' relationship community is outstanding. Our theme for the week is FREE, based on scripture from Galatians. Its about leaving behind our fears and being free to be ourselves this week. Free of stereotypes, free to choose, etc. (I'll expand later, great concept though) And just by chance, both of the other groups here are Catholic and one brought a priest so we'll be having mass a couple times this week. The other two groups are from Indiana and Oregon and have about the same # of kids too!

Can't wait to tell you about our adventures tomorrow as we dig in.
