A quick overview of the last two days...
Tuesday: We canoed and hiked at String Lake. In the evening a local artist came and taught a class about journaling, sketching, and water color. The students also learned about Olaus and Mardy Murie.
Wednesday: The students participated in a service project where they planted Willow trees. We spent the afternoon at the Wildlife Art Museum. Tonight the students will participate in a mediation time where they learn about and debate the local issue "Should we continue to feed the elk on the National Elk Reserve?"
Everything has been going well and we feel very blessed with good weather, fantastic food, excellent Teton Science School instructors, encouraging fellowship, wonderful group and individual devotion times, and an exceptional group of students and chaperons.
Thank you for continuing to pray for us: for safety, unity, energy, hearts that are open to learn what God wants to show us. We are loving seeing your children grow and challenge themselves and look forward to them being able to share those things with you when we return home.
