Dear Naz Farm,
Thank you so much for all you've done the past week. It was probably one of my favorite trips I have ever been on. Usually I hate cold weather and get angry when I have to wake up before like 11am. But I didn't even mind.
From the moment we pulled into the little holler, I knew I'd have a good time. Mrs. Davis played the mountain song and then we started honking and you all were there to greet us and hug us and say "welcome home." I just felt really comfortable with where I was at.
Then through the week I got to see all the beautiful nature and snow and I met knew people and it was great. I am not really a big prayer person, but I really enjoyed it and I think prayer really changed me because now I even say little prayers of petition or thanksgiving every night.
I learned a lot while I was there, but the cornerstone I learned the most about was living simply. While I was there I realized that: 1.) I don't need to eat every hour like I do at home, and 2.) My mom cooks too much food that gets wasted, 3.) I use way too much water. Since I got home I've been trying to make changes like not washing my hair every day, turning off lights, unplugging chargers, and not wasting food or liquids. I also try to limit my electronics usage by not listening to my ipdod 24/7 and not spending all day on Facebook or t.v.
I really hope to come back again with a group of friends or family in the future, because i had such a great time. I want everyone I know to experience it so, I'd like to say thank you so much for this week! It has changed who I am, and has helped me make memories that I will (hopefully) never forget.
