Funny: the 4th of July on the rez is slow! It seemed that
everyone left town. We came home for dinner and decided with the other elders
that we needed to do something fun. So, we hiked the Mesa near our house to see
if we could see any fireworks. We didn't really see many so we decided to have
our own fun. We found a bunch of glass beer bottles and even a toilet someone
had left out there. We lined them all out and the great rock battle began. To
put it simply, we overthrew the porcelain throne.
Spiritual: This week we set a finding goal of 4. We worked really hard to achieve it and we found 3 by Saturday. We were a little worried because Sundays we usually visit a lot of members and those that didn't make it to church. We decided that we still had a few more minutes before we had to go in. We said a prayer and we were reminded of earlier in the week we had met a man named Tim while helping him dig up some water lines. He had almost absentmindedly told us where his house was. We decided that we would give him a chance. We knocked on his door and he let us right in! He had met with missionaries a long time ago and our encounter earlier in the week had reminded him of what he felt while meeting with them. He had wanted to get in contact with us but didn't have any way to do so. It was a tender moment for us to be guided to those who are looking for the truth.
Where I am at: Well thankfully the holidays are over and this next week is going to be great! We are finally getting things prepared for the Eastern Navajo Nation fair and we are excited for that. There is a lot going on and a lot to do. We are loving the weather. Monsoon season is upon us and every day we get to listen the roar of thunder and cool off with a few scattered showers. It is perfect.
Have a great week
