Monday was good, we went up to Blanding and played some sports with the zone.
Tuesday we were out walking around the Rez to save some miles and I found a Canadian penny from 1964 ON THE NAVAJO RESERVATION!!! Talk about random. We had some good lessons with Ernie and then with Randy and his family. Randy is so prepared! I love going over there because he is always waiting to learn more.
Wednesday we went over to a members house and they pulled out one of their ancestors patriarchal blessings. The blessing had been given by Hyrum Smith!!! It was so cool! Then we went down close to the Arizona boarder and saw Aaron. We taught him about the second half of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, well really just reviewed it because he somehow already knew it all. That was such an amazing experience!
Thursday we had Zone Training. I trained on Hope. Mainly the attitude missionaries put into the work and how it affects them. It went really well. Then we went back down to the Reservation and had 4 really solid lessons with Randy and Family, Daylene and family, Kaeahlyiah, and Dory and family. They were all really good lessons because each of them were so excited to keep learning more about the gospel!
Friday we didn't use the truck because we had used a lot of miles in the past week so we walked around Bluff and did some service. The nice part was it was over 70 degrees so we could take off our suit coats. We painted this older ladies patio. It looks pretty good. :)
Saturday we drove out to the rez then took out or bikes and biked around. If you want to get fit fast then go biking in sand. :) That was crazy fun. Plus we had to go over some wash boards, bumps in the dirt roads. It was pretty intense. :)
Sunday was church and I was sitting by a family with a 1 or 2 year old girl. Well I was playing around with her and I had my foot up on my other leg. So eventually she grabs my shoe lace and guess what... Most toddles would try to put it in their mouth. NOT THIS ONE!! Nope she went straight for her nose. I kept pulling it away and she would grab it and go after it again. Crazy little girl. :)
So that's my week. A number of people have asked me what I want for my Birthday. So here is the best wishlist I can put together.
-Jericho Road music
-Church music in general
-I don't need any ties, I'm set for life on those. :)
-healthy food
-and i'm always game for surprises just don't spend to much on it.
Well thanks for all the support! Until next time, Hagoonee'!
