One Last Hurrah

Well, we depart on our long journey home later today and this will mark the last post on the Blog before we arrive back in St. Louis tomorrow afternoon. Today we packed up, cleaned the bunkhouse and they boys are spending their last hours in the classroom with the students.

We will depart from DLSBS right around lunch time (in about 40 minutes) and head to Glacier National Park for a little recreation. It is my understanding that we will go snow shoeing in the mountains for a few hours before we head to the Two Medicine grill for some Buffalo burgers. Our final stop will be the Train Station for an (say a small prayer) on time train to Spokane, WA.

Last night Brother Ray took most of us on a little excursion to see something that I have not seen since I was 14 and some of these boys may have never seen before, MORE STARS THAN YOU COULD EVEN BEGIN TO COMPREHEND. The sky was filled with them and everyone was in awe. We managed to spot a few satellites passing in the sky as well. Brother drove us to a spot that was "off the grid" meaning we had nothing obstructing our view, no trees, no powerlines, nothing. It was a fitting end for our last night.

As the boys finish in the rooms this morning you can see the bonds they have formed and the respect that has been fostered over the course of the week. I don't think anyone will come by back quite the same. The people have been so gracious and welcoming and I can't wait to come back. I have already got the tentative dates for next years trip, so any sophomores who have wandered on to this page or if you know someone who might be interested I will be keeping the blog going.

CBC's MEN FOR TOMORROW, BROTHERS FOR LIFE have made their mark and I think everyone is ready to start their summer vacations.

LIVE JESUS IN OUR HEARTS.....FOREVER!!!

See You Soon
