Navajo Code 7/21

       Yaa Teeh!

       Monday we just chilled for P-day. Then we went on splits with some ward members. I was with Bro Chapman. (Which is funny because that's the name of my dad's first companion.) We had a really great lesson with one of our recent converts. Basically I started off teaching by asking a question, he'd answer and the members would teach. Then I'd ask another question to move on to the next point. Awesomeness. :)

       Tuesday we had zone conference. Elder Martin and I won first place in the vehicle inspection for our zone. Then we went on exchanges with the Spanish elders. I was with Elder Oakley from North Carolina. We went to a less active's then chopped some wood for her. That was the first time he had done that on his mission. Then we had 2 other really good lessons! So to show you how crazy our day was, we had 6 appointments in 4 hours plus a dinner appointment. Crazy awesome... but crazy.

       Wednesday we pulled some more weeds for our new elders quorum president and for an investigator. Then we went for a walk in the 90 plus degree weather. Then we played soccer that night and had a good lesson with an investigator. They had a piano in their home so we actually started off by singing a hymn. That was pretty cool. :)

       Thursday was a pretty uneventful day. We had district meeting then we had a lesson with Chet. He's really progressing, he's come to church the past two weeks. Also, I want to thank Grandpa Chipman and McKinnon and Morgan and Dayna for supporting me so much on my mission. I really appreciate what you are doing for me.

       Friday we helped our Elders quorum president again. They are such a great family and we are really building a good relationship with them that will bless missionaries for years to come. Then we had a lesson with our recent convert. We started watching the movie about the construction of the Salt Lake Temple.

       Saturday we went for a little walk and talked to this guy. So we ran into him because we had talked to his brother who said go talk to his mom and this guy answered the door. This guy is super elect! He has some member friends in Farmington that are awesome. He's read the Book of Mormon all the way through, his friends have given him a temple picture book, and they've invited him on a church history tour of the eastern states the next time they go. Wow! He also loves the idea of educational classes for gender and age groups. We can't wait to teach him this week! Then we helped this family get some stuff out of a storage shed. We had a fun little day doing that for the hour that we did. We got pretty dirty climbing around that storage shed. :)

       Sunday we had an investigator come to sacrament meeting. That was the first one since I've been here! Then we had a stake priesthood meeting.

       Hope you all have a great week! Until next time, Hagoonee'!
