Well we just got back from climbing Mt. Humphrey! It is the highest
mountain in Arizona! It took us almost 6 hours...I will say I am
sufficiently whooped. We weren't super prepared for the distance, or
the snow, or the 50 mph wind at the top. But it was definitely worth
it! From the top we could see part of the Grand Canyheon. I loved it! My
camera died so I didn't get many pictures...sorry. (this photo is off the web)

So this week was pretty good, I'm feeling pretty settled in and
finally starting to learn the area alright. Jr and Tracey were
both both baptized this last Saturday! It has been cool teaching these
young kids, but they are solid and we are working on reactivating the
whole family so that they can have the support they need! Again, we
don't have pictures yet but we will send me when we get them!
There are so many Navajos up here! We cover the Flagstaff Hospital in
the area so we get called to give blessings at least 3 times a week.
That's been pretty cool.
We had some awesome meetings this week, we received training on Family
History work, which we are going to start doing as a mission! They
want us to know how to do our own so we can help others do theirs and
find new people to teach through it. Within the first minute of
working on it, I found out that my zone leader Elder Arave is my 5th
cousin or something like that! We have the same great great great
grandfather, Nelson Arave Arrivee! That's sweet! It's been cool
learning about all of this, the Spirit of Elijah is so real.
Also we had a focus on talking with everyone in our Zone meeting.
Since then, we made some changes in the way we do things and have
found some solid new potentials just because we rent afraid to talk to
someone walking into their house, or sitting outside smoking. It's
been great.
Well, we don't have much time at all today, so that's the update!
Also, I need to know what time to call on Sunday! Please respond and
let me know before 6. Sorry it's late notice, but were just supposed
to have set time. Looking forward to seeing you all! Let me know what
time works best!
I love you!
