Everything Grand

I apologize for the late update and the lack of picture. Hopefully I will have more later today. We woke up yesterday and had a HUGE breakfast of eggs, bacon and quesadillas. We then packed up, cleaned the dorms, and headed out to the Grand Canyon. We were planning on having an Indian frybread lunch but we had such a huge breakfast so late that we weren't really hungry when we got there. We stopped at a trading post and did a lot of shopping, and then we visited some genuine Natives and bought some souvenirs from them. We headed to the canyon and the drive was absolutely beautiful. It felt like we were driving in a picture. When we got there everyone was very hungry, so we ate lunch/dinner in the cafeteria. The food wasn't too good but it filled our stomachs. We then caught a shuttle to Hopi Point where we watched the sunset. It was unbelievable, and to think that God does that every day! We had a lot of laughs and it was very fun. When we got back we unpacked our stuff and got settled. Then we had about an hour of debriefing about the trip. We talked about what we learned, how we felt, and how it would change us. Then we went outside to the rim and layed down and just stared at the millions of stars. There were so many! We saw somewhere around 6 shooting stars. We then did some praise and worship with Dan B. on the guitar. The whole experience was powerful. When we got back to the rooms everyone crashed. We did, however, wake up at 4:45 to watch the sunrise. We had to take a 10 minute hike on the rim, but it was beautiful. As I speak now, everyone is just waking up again and getting breakfast. Today we view the canyon more and head back to Phoenix. Thank you for all of your prayers and please continue to pray for travel safety. We miss you all.
