Funny: the weather down here is very unpredictable and the
weathermen have a very hard job. Last Thursday we were visiting some members
and a blizzard warning came on. We spent the rest of the evening running around
helping people prepare for the big storm. The results of the blizzard, I think
I saw 3 snowflakes and the wind picked up to about 15 mph. It sure did a good
job of shutting down the town though. They were ready to cancel everything that
was going on the next day.
Spiritual: we got to see the fruit of old missionary efforts in this area. We went to a part member family who from the record did not sound very interested and hadn't responded very well in the past to the missionaries. As we talked with them, we learned that they were actually interested and they had been listening to the other missionaries but circumstances didn't allow them to progress at that time and so they had given up hope. Now that times are better, they told that they would be happy to continue the lessons and prepare for baptism.
Where I am at: Tuba City is a great area and we have had a great time serving here! The weather is getting colder and there is a lot more wind but that had not stopped us very much. Mostly that just means that people are more likely to be home. The only hard part is that they all have wood stoves so it gets really hot inside their Hogans and so it is difficult to decide if you want to bundle up and stay warm outside and burn inside or to dress light and be comfortable inside and freeze outside. Other than that all is well and we are having a great time out here serving these people. Christmas was incredible and it was so fun to talk to y'all and see your beautiful faces.
Have a happy new year
