The adventure is outdoors and usually us something the girls might not normally have the opportunity to do.
My carload of girls were spunky and energetic so getting there provided fun opportunities to get out, stretch our legs, and get some fun photos.
Wilson Ranches Retreat in Fossil Oregon was our destination. Here we were able to have the girls go horseback riding, play games, and spend twenty-four hours unplugged from electronics and the daily evils temping our lives. One girl stated as she got off her horse, "That was the most amazing thing I have ever done".
The family that owns the ranch were able to provide service opportunities in town in cleaning around the courthouses and the fairgrounds.
The next day we dug for fossils and feasted our eyes on the beauty of the Painted Hills.
Throughout the scriptures there are stories of when the savior would perform miracles and the followers would forget. There were also times when the savior would walk among them and they wound not, could not see him. Open your eyes and see. Open your eyes to the beauty around you, in nature and the good deeds of others. Choose to see the saviors hand in your life and in the lives of others.
The two days I was able to spend with the girls of the BOWS YW High Adventure I was able to see their love for thief savior radiate through them. I was able to see the light of Christ shine through the righteous decisions these girls make.
