Funny: this was the first week where we spent more time doing something other than chopping wood for service. What did we do? We spent 4 hours burying a cat... the lady we were burying it for had a spot picked out but the problem was that it was all rock. We spent a long time with pickaxes in hand trying to dig out a hole deep enough to stuff a cat in. The funeral itself was really unfortunately funny. She brought out the casket that the cat was in and just as we were lowering it down into the hole it broke and poor old fluffy (who had formed to the box having been dead for over a week) fell the rest of the way. The lady couldn't bear the thought so she left and we filled in the hole and read the scripture she asked us to. This all happened in Elder Robison’s first day in the area. Welcome to the Rez 😉
Spiritual: this was another week filled with miracles. On Sunday we got a call after church from a person we are teaching. We asked us if we could go visit his wife and children. We grabbed our senior couple and the Relief Society President and we were off. We had a great Spirit filled lesson and as we returned home the Relief Society President turned to us and told us how happy she was that she is going to be her friend when she gets baptized. It was remarkable to see the faith that was built as we took members with us.
Where I am at: we had the great opportunity to go to a devotional from Sister Aburto, the first counselor in the General Relief Society Presidency. She gave a spiritually powerful talk about how we need to have strong relationships with not only our family on earth, but also with our ancestors. She talked about making the dinner table sacred by having those good relationships and by learning the Gospel at home. It was an answer to prayers for a family we invited. We also found someone to teach us Navajo so that is speeding up exponentially. 😁 Also, next week are all our meetings and exchanges in Farmington so we only get 1 day to work in our area, so it'll be an interesting week.
