Weekend #1

Hello from New Mexico! Today was a travel day. We left Salida, Colorado this morning at a7:30 am and headed for Rehoboth. The view from the van was much more scenic in Colorado than in Nebraska so that was great. The most challenging part of the trip so far has been being stuck in a van with the middle schoolers. If middle schoolers are the worst part of the trip, it should be a great trip.

                So, today Our group left Colorado and headed towards the four corners for a nice lunch. The church van ended up having a few problems. As the elevation changed the car just started acting weird, I guess. Our van had a blast, though. We played a bunch of games and we actually talked instead of sitting on our phones. We talked about the miracles that happen every day. Nita was an amazing driver. Throughout all the mountains it was a series of sharp turns and steep slopes. A lot of prayers were said and it paid off. There weren’t any low lights, in my opinion. The four corners were cool. I talked to a Navajo man about what I should expect to see on the hikes and he talked a bit about his culture. It was pretty awesome to get that little snippet of the culture. Seeing the sign for Rehoboth was a relief and it finally became real that we’re going to be serving for a week. I’m very excited to see what God has in store for me, and the group as a whole, on this trip!

                Today, we left Salda, Colorado; where the view was pretty amazing. We woke up to discover that we were surrounded by the moutains which we weren’t able to see last night due to the fact that it was dark outside. The was steep elevation, which caused the breaks to act up and had us worried for a while, but it resolved itself which we were all grateful for. I’m excited to see what this trip brings and how God works through all of us!
