End of the Week: Blackfoot, Malad, & Twin Falls

The last part of our trip went by fast! We traveled to Blackfoot on Wednesday, Malad on Thursday, stayed in Burley Friday, and then on to Twin Falls Saturday!

We are very thankful to have stayed with Shannon Jensen in Blackfoot, her children even gave up their bedrooms for us to sleep in!  It was very nice of them.  :)  Blackfoot was fun, we took lots of pictures and we played the Wii with Shannon's children, TJ & Jordyn.  I promise we were working too!

We drove around Malad (about an hour outside of Pocatello) and almost got stuck in the mud (long story ha ha).  While they are a small community, they have a lot of heart.  We heard lots of opinions, we were encouraged to hear that everyone we spoke to had a lot to say.   When we decided that we wanted to visit Malad we asked the local SEICA (South Eastern Idaho Community Action) for help and the were so very accommodating!

We also met with community members in Blackfoot and Twin Falls.  Both of which are very passionate about making important  community connections.  I thoroughly enjoy talking with people and just hearing their stories---this trip was very informative and definitely beneficial!
