Yesterday we finished writing our encouragement notes, got souvenirs in town, and had a banquet and an awards ceremony. I got the "Happiest Hiker" award which (wouldn't you know it..) made me happy. We followed that with some praise a worship. Country worship music is fun and upbeat ya'll ;) We were in the middle of reflection and one of the guys busts into the room exclaiming that a mother Moose and her two calves were 20 feet away from the basketball courts. Mass panic and chaos happened as we all rushed out to see for ourselves. My picture didn't turn out because it was dusk, but that was probably THE coolest wildlife sighting ever (and we saw a wolf driving back from Yellowstone earlier in the trip).
These past 3 and a half weeks have been absolutely transforming. I've learned so much about myself and my relationships with others and God. Philippians 2:14-15 tells us to live lives that are above reproach so that not even a suggestion or hint of sin is in your life. I definitely want to humbly strive to use this verse as my life mission with the help of the Holy Spirit.
My flight from Jackson Hole departs at 2:25 local time (so 4:30ish for those of you in Georgia) and I'll be arriving in Atlanta around midnight local time. Pray that I have a safe flight and I'll see you guys soon! Thanks for keeping tabs with me!!!!

Personally, a wolf driving would definitely trump a moose sighting in my mind :)
