Ya'da'la! (What the heck!) Maybe he will get used to braces
soon. Otherwise it's going to be a long 2 1/2 years! Ok, so this week was a
little slower because of Christmas and the baptism yesterday. We didn't get to
go out and teach as much but it was still a really cool week! The two days
before Christmas we went out and delivered some toys that we got from a ward in
Utah and gave all of them to little kids we ran in to. It was a great way to
get our foot in the door and talk to people and it was also great because a lot
of the kids here don't get much for Christmas because of the poverty on the
reservation. You should have seen the reactions we got from the kids when they
got a gift! Yesterday the guy who competes in rodeo's who we have been teaching
got baptized with two other converts from the other two missionaries area. It
was cool to have 3 people all at once and the turn out was really big! They all
have cool members who are there to welcome them into the ward. The funny part
of it all is that we tried to fill up the font in Many Farms so we could have
the baptisms here but the water was all yellow and gross so we moved it to the
building in Chinle. That building is bigger anyways so it worked out well. It's
awesome to think how far all of these converts have come since we first met them
and my companion and I have nothing to do with their conversion processes. We
joke around all the time and say that the Lord borrows our mouth when we teach
and that all we have to do is be there. So to see the spirit speak to someone
through us and then see that person join the church is something amazing! Well
I have a picture for you and then I'm done for today. I will talk to you next
week. Love ya!
