When we first started discussing this mission trip, I thought it might be one of those trips that I wouldn’t be able to go on. And then, after discussing it with my parents, I realized I was able to go, I was really excited. I’ve heard of the mission trips in the past, to Louisiana and Colorado and I wanted to enjoy that same eye-opening experience. In Montana, I definitely did. When we were helping re-gravel those trails, and people would stop and say thank you, or even just smile, I realized how much we were not only helping the environment but also the people in Montana. I had the same worries that the leaders did, and that my dad did, that, yes, we would be helping the environment, but were we helping the people? After seeing how grateful everyone was for what we were doing, I realized that helping the environment also benefits the people and for that I am thankful.
