Welcome to Montana, my new brothers... YEEHAW!

So this is Cowboy J-Bo. I had the beard going on and my pearl button shirt and couldn't come up with a cowboy hat so I made do with my favorite trucker cap. Thursday evening the base did a formal welcome for all of the new students with "Welcome to Montana " night. They had a big steak dinner with bluegrass music and then some fun Cowboy games.


The best part of the evening was the two hours of square dancing that everyone enjoyed after the incredible feast. Everybody was decked out in their Montana gear. I put my cowboy boots on and had a blast.

This guy was the caller for the evening... he was a hoot... I mean, check out that sweet mustache. The night was a whole lot of fun, I even got to show off some of my dancing skills.

The best part of the night was getting to get dressed up and goofy so I wanted to include a bunch of pictures of my new brothers from SBS. These are most of the guys.

This is Peter, one of the SBS teachers who lives on our hallway. He is a Brit, and made for an interesting Cowboy. I tell you what though, he throws a mean game of Horseshoes.

This here is Mike, from Canada. He thought it would be funny to dress up as a lady and was a bit awkward... but Mike is a great guy who has had some really neat experiences as a Youth Pastor and has really amazing desire to honor God this year in SBS.

This is Justin from upstate New York. He is awesome.. kinda crazy and a little goofy sometimes... but a neat guy.

This is Jared, who also is quite the character. Between he and Justin the hallways are always entertaining. He hails from the nearby state of Washington. Oh yeah, he plans on letting the beard grow out all year.

This is John, who is from here in Kalispell, and a great resource for all things local.

This is Tosku, from Japan. He is one of the younger guys here,19, but really cool.

This is Sam, a fellow North Carolinian who loves to do outdoor stuff and throw the "B". He's also kind of a ham... but a good guy from the South, I enjoy his company.

This is Jeff, who took all these awesome pictures. He is a really neat guy from Southern California. He and I like to make fun of things that were cool when we were little kids.

This is Hans from Alaska, who is here with his wife who isn't in any of the YWAM schools presently. He has become my Frisbee Golf partner.

Mike, from England.

This is Jeridan who grew up in Canada but has lived here in Montana the last few years.

This is Dylan.

This here is Bryan, well Uncle Bryan... he is one of the SBS teachers here.
