A day on the rez

2:36 am mission

Today we delivered job opportunities to the chapter houses in Chinle, Many Farms, Lukachukia and found two of the people the bishop in the Many Farms ward would like us to visit.  We will probably deliver to Round Rock and Ruff Rock next week.  We found the bishops place in Lukachukia and visited with his wife. 

The post office still can’t make the key work for our P O Box which I predict will take at least six months.  Dad loves it as he gets to go ask for our mail, which they have a huge sign saying do not ask for your mail!

We walked out to the rim of Antalope trail which overlooks the Canyon De Chille said da shay, and looked down into the valley it was like looking into another world.  There are farms and all kinds of things growing, trees, crops, just beautiful.  The lookouts are on our way to and from Lukachukia.  Up on top is total desert, to include the volcanic rock we had in Cameron.

The weather has been very warm since we got here and so the trees around our trailer have to be watered.   Some day some missionaries are going to have an oasis to enjoy.  The one draw back here is that the electricity goes out quit often and the water gets turned off two or three times a week, then we have to let it run everywhere to get rid of the brown water, to include the tub and washer, lots of fun.

    I can’t wait to hear “names.” My favorite from last year was GoldenToothTopof Mountain. Something like that. Glad you are “getting in to it” Love you
