Sunne Lutheran Youth returned from their 2010 Faith Adventure to the Navajo Evangelical Lutheran Mission in Rock Point, Arizona.  While at the Mission, the group taught Vacation Bible School and helped with several projects.

The Navajo Lutheran Mission is located in northeast Arizona in the heart of the Navajo Nation, about 1250 miles from Wilton.  The participants enjoyed experiencing Navajo culture, learning about Navajo customs and learned at Navajo jewelry and rug making.

Because the group traveled by van and pickup, they were able to see much of the countryside.  They spent time hiking around on Wolf Creek Pass in Colorado, spent a day at the Grand Canyon, and viewed Canon de Chelly.

Among the highlights of their trip were getting to know the children at the Mission and exploring the desert.  But the biggest highlight, at least for some of the guys, occurred on the last evening when they were invited out to a home in the desert to play softball.  The bases were flat rocks.  The outfield was sagegrush and sand dunes, but the "field" was surrouned by beautiful red rock buttes and mesas.
