The Taiwanese kids quickly became some of my favorites. When they first arrived in Zion, an ACMNP team member and I took them to one of the swimming holes/cliff jumping spots.

They don’t have any transportation, so any time they got to go anywhere that required a car it was a blessing.

We got to swim, jump, play some beach ball volleyball, and just start really loving on them that day.

It was such a blessing to be able to connect in creation in that way. I still did my occasional hikes alone spending time taking in the whole canyon and praying for the employees.
