Funny: This week was full of really funny moments. If I were
to sum it up, I would say that with three of us we were affected by group
mentality. We were helping watch a lady’s house and water her garden while she
was up visiting relatives in Utah. At one point we were stuck, we were trying
to find the food for her dog. We looked literally everywhere in the house but
no luck. We spent an hour looking in the same place and the bag of food was
right by the front door the whole time Haha. Moral of the story, sometimes more
is less.
Spiritual: There were miracles and angels all around us this past week. We had a rough week with our truck. On Thursday we noticed that we had a small nail in our front tire. We couldn't do much about it till Monday when we could go into Gallup. So, we replaced the lost air and kept a bike pump in the back just in case it lost more air. On Saturday we were in one of the sketchier parts of our area visiting some potentials and we came back to our truck after about an hour of walking around and we found our tire was completely flat. Again, nothing to worry about. We have a spare and some tools. We finally get the truck jacked up when lo and behold the tire iron was the wrong size for the nuts. We couldn't get the tire off! We tried and tried but without success. Finally (and I don’t know why we didn't do this earlier) we turned to the Lord. It wasn't even 5 minutes after the prayer that a neighbor came out with exactly the right size tool. Well we got the tire changed and all is well. The man who helped us is the real miracle because we had tried his house only a few days ago and he had basically slammed the door in our face. Now he told us that he wouldn't mind having us come back and sharing a message with him. What a miracle!
Where I am at: Wow, what a fast week. I feel like the week just started and yet here we are again. Time is flying and we are having a great time. It is fun to be back into a trio again, there are a lot of things about it that I had forgotten. The good news is that it came at a great time. We are all very excited for the Eastern Navajo Fair this week. It is going to be a blast. I suspect that we will be exhausted after it is done. It will be a fantastic adventure.
I love you all,
