Funny: we go on a lot of wood hauls but this week was
definitely the most interesting. We got to a spot where we saw a good big tree
(5ft. Diameter 100-125 ft tall) they had just started cutting with the chainsaw
when the chain fell off. They then realized that all the tools needed to fix it
were left back home. So what did we do? We chopped down the tree and sectioned
it with our semi dull axes. It took several hours to do what should have taken
several minutes, but I have never felt so much like a man.
Spiritual: we met a lot of wonderful people this week. We met a young man who is very elect. He told us that he was looking for truth, specifically for proof that Jesus Christ came and visited the Americas. He had talked with the old Navajo' s and they had told him legends of the great white spirit that visited the Americas. He was convinced that it was Christ but he had never found any proof. We gave him a copy of the Book of Mormon and boldly testified that this was the proof that he was searching for. It consistently amazes me how much God loves all his children and prepares them to find His Gospel.
Where I am at: Fall is here, sadly all the snow has melted away but in its place is the vibrant colors of the autumn season. We are having a great time out here. With all the meetings done we have been able to work and work and work. It has been so nice. Also, my Navajo has improved to the point that I can now read the Naaltsoos Mormon Wolyéhígíí with a good understanding! 😁 sadly my speaking ability is still very pathetic. Mostly when I try to speak it I just get blank stares. But oh well, it's a process.
