MTC Email #3




Yaa'ah'teh!
Yes i saw brett, he looks good.  I got the root beer and preach my gospel. Thanks so much! He came to give me a hug and I didnt know what to do.  I was like uhhhh....oh ya its ok to hug.  I am attempting to repack everythign today.  I need a miracle.  I leave on Monday at 6 am. Layover in Denver for a couple hours then fly to Durango.  From there drive to FArmington, the who knows where!  So if I call it will probably be sometime around 4:30 or 5ish i dont know. so be ready to be woken up.  I have to get up at 1:30, and we will have to be all ready to go by 3 am! so fun times!  I learned some more navajo lately from teachers that served there adn one elder who is navajo!  lfor example....  Ah'ee'ee (pronounced ah-yhe-eh)  which means thank you.  Very complicated to pronounce these words.  oh my favorite, cle'h.  whiich means horse.  Its pronounced with a nasal throat sound its almost impossible to say its crazy.  I have gotten to talk to some of my friends from BYU-i that were in my Russian class with me and have been able to carry on a few conversations so that makes me happy. Also a teacher here is French and he started talking to me and he insulted me in french but he was extremely surprised that i understood him and replied! it was great, but we didnt really get anywhere, i have forgotten alot of my French.  Tell steve hello for me! He can have his derek zoolnader shirt back, it should be in my closet.  I have had some more great experiences this week, cant wait to get out to New Mexico.  There is a teacher here that served in Phoenix which was what the mission was before it was Farmington.  he had a couple of interesting experiences he told us about our skinwalker friends that we will be amongst.  He told us jsut to always be listening for the spirit with extra intent especially when it gets darker and when we are tracting.  Things happen.  But hey whatever BRING IT ON!!!!!  I read in 2 Timothy earlier this week which is a great book by the way I highly reacommend it.  It talks about being a "Good soldier of Jesus Christ"  and to always be faithful and you will be protected.  So im excited.  Other fun news i got a concussion on Wendesday from playing basketball, so i guess its karma.  Elder Hullinger who is in my district and  from Boise, he went to Eagle, decided to be a linebacker for a second and he headbutted me in my face. Felt wonderful.  Bloody nose for about 30 mins, I went to the Hospital to get checked out and they said my brain wasnt bleeding but it swelled up pretty good.  So i was lucky.  Im all good now.
Anyways i got to go! The church is true!  The next info shall come from New Mexico, Utah, colorado, or Arizona.  its a pandoras box.  Go broncos!
