Moose Watch: Days 3,4

More exciting times in Jackson Hole! Yesterday was a work day. Spent the morning learning about what a Gospel-changed life should look like. Heard some amazing stories about how the Gospel has transformed lives all over the country. Also learned a lot about how our country has accepted this lukewarm Christianity where people think that going to Church every Sunday is good enough. Christ did not die on the cross for us to live that way. Ended the talk by praying for people we know who we might consider lukewarm Christians. It was an incredibly powerful time.

After that, we learned how to effectively communicate our own personal stories of salvation. Writing out my testimony was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be, and telling it was even harder. Luckily, I've got a week or so before I've got to give it in front of the group at lunch.

Yesterday evening, we had a photo scavenger hunt which was probably one of the most fun things I've done here so far. One of our tasks was to find a sleeping indian. Apparently, there is a mountain formation near here called the sleeping indian, but we didn't know that. Instead, we saw some traditionally dressed Native Americans in Jackson Hole and they were nice enough to pretend that they were sleeping on a bench! It was hilarious. I don't have the pictures on my computer, but I'll try to find them soon.

Today was a fun day. We started the day off by taking a horse trail ride through the mountains. We went up to about 8,000 ft to a ridge where we could see several different mountain ranges. The view was indescribable. Here are some pictures from our ride:














Also, saw an elk and her baby on the trail. Didn't get any pictures though :( Still looking for that moose!
