My first Blog

Well here i am. Batesland, South Dakota. Time sure is flying by. We have completed 5 weeks of program and i can tell cause i am tired. Last week we had a pretty crazy week. It started out ok, we enjoyed our group, a little loud and interesting but good. The crazy part started on tuesday... our community ran out of water on a day that the bank screen read 120degrees out. i guess the water tower was empty, who would have thought that could even happen. So then on wednesday i found out 2 community members passed away in a car crash so they held a three day 24/7 memorial service. So my staff and i packed up our WHOLE site, youth and all and moved to Martin SD about 20 miles east of our site now. We stayed in a church with only 2 rooms and 1 bathroom. it was nuts! We were allowed back at our site Sunday and as we pulled up we were greeted by a group that was 2 hours early. so needless to say my staff and i are playing a little catch up. All in all things are going well a little nuts but well.
