I Can Do Hard Things

Austin had a crazy busy summer this year. He was able to go on two Boy Scout camps back to back. Matt was taking the older boys on a 25 mile backpacking trip tot the Hoover Wilderness. Because Austin is the only boy his age, and he is almost done with his Eagle, he was allowed to go with them. 

After a lot of conflict, questions and wondering if the boys could handle this trip, Matt pulled it off. The boys all did an amazing job and had a fantastic time. It was great to hear their testimonies when they got back home. They did something hard, and they were proud of themselves. I am glad the Austin has Matt not just as a father, but as a YM leader as well. Matt is not afraid to push the boys a little beyond their limits. By doing this, they were all able to grow and accomplish something difficult.
