Yellowstone & Wyoming

We visited Yellowstone National Park yesterday with the other tour team. Oh my word, I did not realize how massive it is! It borders 3 different states (Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming). It is gorgeous! I love it so much! We saw Old Faithful, and huge waterfalls, and geysers and lots of animals! Amazingly, we saw 4 bears in the park! Along with many bison and deer and longhorn animals. It was so beautiful :) It snowed at part of the park, and it was actually so pretty with all the snow and everything haha. Definitely cold though, I did not pack for this cold of weather.

Today we did a Sunday morning service in Cody, Wyoming. It was a really great service, and God was definitely moving in and through each member of our team. The past few days we have really focused on our team's unity. We have been praying specifically for each other, and just loving each other like God wants us to do. It is so great, and I love every person on my team. They are all so gifted and I love seeing them work in those giftings. :)

We had a great lunch at a place called Bubba's Barbeque. It had delicious food, and we definitely ate lots. Later in the evening we did a youth service, and had a blast with the 10-15 youth that were there. It was a great time of working together, and meeting new people.

AND, God totally blessed us with a rockin' place to stay tonight. Last night we stayed on the cold floor of a church basement (which we were grateful for). But today at church, a man came up to us and said he wanted to bless us. He and his wife own a vacation home on a big ranch, and they said we could stay their for the night. Oh my gosh, this house is HUGE! We are seriously spoiled. This house has 18 beds, 5 huge bedrooms, a massive projector screen tv with dvd and wii, a flat screen tv upstairs, a huge kitchen (probably as big as half of the upper floor of my house... if not bigger), 6 bathrooms, 5 showers, a jacuzzi tub, and a beautiful plot of land overlooking Wyoming mountains and ranches. We are SO spoiled!! It is so nice to just relax and enjoy each other's company. We have watched a few movies, played wii, played games, caught up on computer time, eaten food together, and really had a good team bonding time. We are so blessed and so thankful for this opportunity.

PS. if anyone wants an amazing vacation place to stay at, go to Bull Moose Retreat. It is the bomb!!! :)
