Making it Back

Yesterday, November 4, we said goodbye to our NextStep friends and the Lakota people. After a send-off prayer, we boarded the buses and made the trek to Red Rock Amphitheater. The beautiful sight here eased our dread of leaving South Dakota. Also, a group of senior ensemble singers sang "Non Nobis Domine" on the stage. 

This was a great place to stop to get out and atretch our legs and watch as the mountain shadows swallowed the hills and the city of Denver. 

After this, we made our way to Forge: Kingdom Building Ministries where we met a friend and chapel speaker of Shalom. He and his colleagues made a delicious dinner for us and told us a little about his ministry. After this, we were again on the road toward Colorado Christian University. Here, each one of us was able to be hosted by a CCU student who shared their apartment with us...including a nice, hot shower and a cozy place to stay for the nice.
