The paradox of taking the students to Wyoming
By Curt Gibson - Associate DIrector
This years trip was so full of amazing experiences for our students; horseback riding across the planes of Wyoming, watching a student ride a BMX bike through the trees, or sleeping under the stars and hearing a 15yr old guy say”I’m running out of wishes because there are so many falling stars”.
Then there is the two day drive home. Half of the students don’t want to go home… they are down right depressed. They ask if they could live in Wyoming or move in with me. There are a few who can’t wait to get back to there loving family or there friends. I also hear how they plan on making all of these changes in the way they live there life when they get home. I know this is when the work begins. This is when the mentors need to step in, this week we will hope to get all the mentors to make a connection and unpack what has happened this summer. Pray for them this week.
