Precious Arizona


Over Feb vacation myself and ten other Mount students traveled to Arizona to work with the Navajo. It was an unbelievable experience, one difficult to put to words. But, I did learn something that I think is important. While we did a lot of work and hung out with the Navajo people a lot, but that isn't the most importnat thing we learned. What happened was that these ten different kids became a family. We learned what it is like to work together and become ONE. It is just like Bono sings in the sone "One". Bono sings about love. And in the son he sings about being ONE. "We're ONE but we're not the same we get to carry each other carry each other ONE." That is what not only mission work, but life is all about. We have the opprotunity to carry each other through the tough times, to work together for a common good. It is not just something Bono calls us to do, it is what God calls us to do. Preicous Arizona may live on or it may not, but what we learned form that week will never be forgotten. We're ONE but we're not the same we get to carry each other carry each other ONE.
