We’re half way through July and have had such a wonderful time already. We had two baptisms, a ward family home evening, visits from our son and his family and our daughter and her family. Also took a couple of pictures of two of our regular candidates that I don’t want to forget. There will be more pictures of people who come in our office a lot and have become dear friends in August and September blogs. I threw in a picture of a real Navajo taco. The girls speaking at the microphone is dressed in traditional clothing for the ward home evening. One of our ward members had her family there from Florida. They are Cubans and speak Spanish, so she wanted them to meet the ward members and that they introduce some of their traditions to her parents. It was a wonderful evening. Her father later took the microphone and said, with his daughter translating, how much he felt at home on the reservation and how he and the Navajo people are the same, they are brothers and sisters, and that he would be very comfortable living with them on the reservation. It was a very special moment that I will never forget. I don’t like to use names on our blog, but I must tell you the name of the little girl ready for her baptism by her grandfather. Her name is Primrose. It took a little getting used to, but now I just love it. Her grandmother is named Rosemary. You’ll notice at the other baptism a mother and daughter and what a wonderful pair they are. I spoke at their baptism and the daughter never took her eyes away from my eyes during the whole talk. She and her Mom are really awesome converts. Notice our sister missionaries. We are so happy to have them here. The Elders didn’t know what to think at first, but the sisters have won them over. We dearly loved having our families here!!!!!! We have missed you all so much and having them here helped give us the boost we needed for the closing stretch. I think they enjoyed being here and we enjoyed having them here. We have our Career Workshop tomorrow and next week we have a Zone conference and then it will be August. The time is just flying by. Have fun in July!
