Hello! This week has been
insane! I got to spend about half the week out on the rez getting chased by
dogs. It was great. The people out there are so different than anything I had
even imagined in the US.
Funny: Just because of the way
this week worked we only had dinners twice, one on Monday and one on Sunday. So
we have been living off of old pizza, cheese, and whatever else we can find. but
on Sunday we ate so much food. It was with this Mexican lady and she really
knew how to cook. I ate so much that I could not see straight. It was so funny
because every time we cleared our plate she got us more. We must have eaten
around 5 plates each!
Spiritual: On Monday I went out
on the rez with the 4th ward elders. We were walking down the street when this
old drunk dine'(Navajo) pulled up. He started cussing us out and demanding that
we pray for him. I guess we took too long because he got out of the car and
started to approach us like he's ready to fight. I was getting really excited
and nervous because part of me wanted to fight but part of me also wanted to
run. As we prayed I saw him get angrier and angrier. But the moment we said
amen he changed. I saw the Spirit touch him. He started to apologies and just
walked off with tears running down his cheeks. It was really a tender moment
for me because I really saw the protection that we as missionaries have.
Where I am at: Life is good. We
have a baptism on October 5 or 6 (depending on her work). Her name is Monica
and she is so ready to join the church. We are very excited for her. We have
zone conference next week so that is exciting. But other than that the work
goes on as usual.
