The guys had been going strong in the field for over a week solid. Mark needed Jake on Friday as he was short on help. Mike's mom passed away so he was with family. Jake worked a solid 11 hours in the field running the grain cart. Mark was pretty proud and Jake was feeling pretty good and very tired. When he got in that night, he had just a few hours and then he was off for his weekend youth group retreat. His group started the evening Friday at Hidden Acres at 11PM and went until Sunday noon. Jake always looks forward to it and he had a great time. He bonds with his guys. He stayed in the horse bunk houses with his group. He said it was hot and stinky. They had games outside in the dark one evening with a scary scarecrow chasing them. Saturday night they had a dance with a "Country Roads" theme. The whole theme really bothered Jake. He did not appreciate being a country kid and feeling mocked. In the end, it was another fun time with his friends learning and spending time in the word.
