Even the YMO Team doesn't know what will lurk behind the bus when the 2014 YMO Mission concludes but they have been busy preparing.  

The architects have been drawing, the tool guys have been organizing all of the stuff we have to take, the cooks have been planning, and all have been mentally preparing to, by the Grace of God, transform the home of Rev.  Catherine Plummer who has dedicated her life to the church and her Navajo people yet, today, lives in a condemned trailer.  

The money raised will go to the building of a new hogan, a traditional home for the Navajo.  Following tradition, the door will face east to welcome the rising sun for good wealth and fortune.  Building this hogan allows an ancient tradition to brought to life while assuring the survival of the Navajo cultural heritage.  

Wheels up is at 0400 on Saturday, 7 June, as the team begins the journey to Bluff, Utah.  The team is primarily made up of 25 teens from Hinsdale, Clarendon Hills, Western Springs, La Grange, and Burr Ridge.  Each of them sets forth to help but also to learn what kind of adult they are becoming and what they want to become in the future, a person they can present to the world without hesitancy, open to the full experiences of life. Their doors face east and they are on their way!
