Closing

On our last night here together Elias and Gabby ran a workshop that had us in concentric circle pairs and in randomized small groups discussing and reflecting upon our experiences in Tuba City. They asked us the following prompt questions:

- Why do you choose to serve?
- Discuss the one thing on the trip that you expected to be one way but turned out to be another.
- What experience was most meaningful to you?
- Did you find diversity during your stay? If so in what ways? What was your reaction to those differences?
- What struck you? What surprised you about the environment, the culture, the students?
- Based on your experiences on the trip how would you define "service"? Is that definition different now compared to before you left?
- What about Navajo culture / lifestyle or life on the reservation has humbled or enlightened you?
- How can we become better people from this?
- How can you apply the knowledge gained on this trip to your faith?

Ultimately each of us must ask ourselves "What can I do with thy truths I have discovered here in the Navajo Nation?"
