Here is a piece of what I wrote in my journal. :) Enjoy!
July 4th 10:00 p.m
We are in Arizona!!!!!!!!! It is sooo beautiful here I love the new land (I love traveling!). The terrain is mostly mountains and cactus grows like grass, most everything is brown.
Today we went to the Apache reservation and passed out flyers in the neighborhood for VBS tomorrow. :) I am excited but a little nervous too. Anyway, today while we were walking to the houses we saw vicious dogs, trash everywhere, dead puppies, flys, filthy homes and doors. But through all of this I was able to feel the way these people do. Jesus took away all bitterness and judgement. I really felt for these people, they are lost broken, sinful. Many of the things I am, so today I have mixed feelings of eternal gratitude to Jesus for saving me and giving me eternal hope I should be in the same rut they are in, if it wasn't for Jesus and his sacrifice. My heart also breaks for these people and their condition, I know that by the end of the week I will truly have a heart and passion for these people in their brokenness.
Today Jesus truly showed me how to love other the way he loves me.
YYAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Thank you Lord for your hope, and love.

Dear Hunter,
Thank you so much for sharing what the Lord has been teaching you. I am so excited that Jesus showed you how to love people like He does! That is SO exciting! May he teach me that more and more, too.
Joyfully, Mary
Thank you for sharing these insights, Hunter. I'm so thankful for this opportunity you and your mom had to go with a group and share the love of Jesus.
