Lucky Chucky and Elder Cook

Funny: this week we went up to Lukachukai for an exchange. They ended up doing their day of service a few days earlier because they were going to get a lot of snow (they got about a foot) we went with them and hauled 6 truckloads of woods. It was a lot but the funny part were the people who came with us. The Navajo people are really big teases. They taught the senior couple Elder some Navajo. They were supposed to teach him how to introduce himself as a white man but instead they taught him to introduce himself as a left hand (the words are very closely related). Bahaha it made me feel less bad for accidentally talking about my saliva instead of my father.

Spiritual: there was a special devotional last Friday with Elder Cook and he talked about some really incredible things. Some of the things he talked about were:

• Building Zion in your heart and in your home.
• 
  
• What happens in the home is so very important to children.
• 
  
• Being critical will kill Zion in the home or companionship
• 
  
• Who do we see in others and who do others see in us. The God faring man or the critical man.
• 
  
• Those in spiritual camouflage are tempted much more than those who are open with their religion. Be an example
• 
  
• Honor the sabbath, have fun while being respectful. Having joy in the home will get the Gospel principles across better.
• 
  
• He also explained part of what being a "special witness of Christ" means
• 
  
• It was a great devotional and a ton of revelation was poured out on all of us.

Where I am at: This week has been a roller coaster. Due to a series of unfortunate events Elder Robison is leaving to Grant's New Mexico to take care of a situation down there and my new companion will be Elder Naisbitt. We also got 4-5 inches of snow! Which is more snow than I have gotten on the rest of my mission. It was really fun but it killed our Sacrament meeting attendance. Hopefully there is more snow on the way!

love ya'
