What I liked

I learned so much and was able to work with high school students all summer, making a difference in the Navajo Nation, helping the people and communities that were in great poverty.

What I wish was different

Advice

Take any opportunities to learn new things about new cultures that you can. The Navajo is such a unique place that I absolutely loved getting to know.

Intern

May - August 2018 • Ashland, MT

What I liked

I loved discipling high school and middle school students and being a mentor that could challenge them in their skills as a leader, and in their relationship with Christ. Leading mission trips all summer was not easy, but I loved the difficulty. The struggles to always be intentional with students actually caused me to rely more on God and less on my own abilities.

What I wish was different

Nothing! It was the best summer of my life.

Advice

I would recommend this to any Christian willing to grow as a leader and as a follower of Christ. The biggest thing I learned this summer was about pride and how pride is the root of ALL sin, and that I have WAY more pride than I ever realized I did.
