Tubas, Pinons, and Tactical Forces

Funny: there were some crazy things going down in Pinon when we went there for our District council. There were some active shooters and so the FBI used the church parking lot as kind of a base. Well I guess they must have thought that we were part of them when we came out in our dark suits because we had a police officer ask us what we would like him to do... we didn't really have an answer but one of them missionaries invited him to come to church that Sunday.

Spiritual: I am very sad to leave the amazing people here. We had a lesson with the Allen's who are so very close to baptism. During the lesson they both really opened up to us. She told us that she had finally prayed with real intent. She asked God to help her know if this really is the true church. She then opened up the Book Of Mormon randomly and it flipped to Ether chapter 12. Her prayer was answered and when she shared that experiance with Donovian (her soon to be husband) he told us that he always knew that their was a right and a wrong church and that he finally felt that what we were talking about is true. The changes they have made in a relatively short time have been incredible. When we met them they weren't sure that there was a God and she had only heard of Jesus Christ a few times. Conversion changes you!

Where I am going: sadly my blessed time in Window Rock is over. But thankfully I am still going to be on the rez. I am headed to that great town of Tuba City. I will be a district leader and training a new missionary and whitewashing. It will be very fun and I am very excited. Most of the members in my district are covering Hopi land so we will get to experience a new culture that from what I have heard is very rich in Book of Mormon parallels.
