High School Mission Trip

I was eating my lunch in the cafeteria at Holbrook Indian School. My mission group and I had just settled in two days earlier for mission trip. My high school, Weimar Academy has mission trips every year. This year one of the trips was to the Indian school in Holbrook, Arizona. After two days of travel, we finally arrived. We then set up our sleeping bags in the Rec room of the guys’ dorm. As I was eating my lunch and talking with my friends about how mission trip was going I felt a tap from behind and a voice called, “Tag you’re it!” It was Atepa, a little native American girl from the school we were staying at. She and her friends wanted me to play tag with them and they were just waiting until I was done eating so that I could go outside and play with them tag before I went back to work. The girls tagged me so that I was “it” and ran outside quickly to try and run away from me.

Due to the fact that I am about 7 years older than them I could run faster and tag them quicker than they could catch me. I played with them for a while until I had to go back to work, but the tag game did not stop there. After dinner, the same thing happened again, they came up and tagged me so that I could play tag with them. We went outside along with another student from my mission group and we played tag in the gym because it was too dark to play
