Funny: So, in the traditional Navajo culture it turns out
that they don't really date, most of what happens is matchmaking. We were teaching
a family the Law of Chastity, which is way different when they have no concept
of dating, and they told me that they could find a very lovely Navajo girl for
me... I politely declined but they still said they would try. I might be coming
home with more than I bargained for ;)
Spiritual: We were teaching another girl about the
restoration. As we finished the First Vision she broke down in tears. She told
us that as we had been telling her the story, her grandmother had appeared
beside us and told her that what we were telling was true. Whoa, someday I hope
to have the childlike faith to be able to do that.
Where I am at: This is a very foreign land. One that I feel
very white in. The area is beautiful and so are the people. Being back with
Elder Hunt here is one of the best things that could have happened. We have had
some incredible experiences here within the first week. I love him, he is the
best! Window Rock is the Navajo Nation capital but that doesn't change anything
about the culture or the poverty. It is remarkable how these people live with
literally nothing. Some only have a belief that God will take care of them.
