A couple of postcards that Robert sent my Mom and Dad this week
Heenohwahtahmo!!!
Well I can say this for sure. This last week was my favorite week of my mission so far. We taught 23 lessons this week, which is my tie breaker all the way back from Cortez. This week we gonna try for 24. We did everything yesterday for church! There was only one bench that wasn't filled and we spoke. I talked on Christlike attributes. I was up there for over 30 mins for sure, I got into it pretty good. Another thing is for sure, I'm turning into an Indian. Last night in a lesson and during young mens class we spent the whole time talking about how God answers prayers through different animals. I believe it! We talked about stories and experiences and things its pretty crazy now that I realize it. Nearly every time I was ever really angry or sad and I just need a buddy to be with...Hunter would always come and find me and sit down next to me and just seem to be like "whats up man?" I miss my dang dog. I have learned a lot about Humility and Prayer this week. I think we prayed over like 50 times this week together. Look what happens! Within another 3 weeks our goal is to get the overflow opened and chairs set up during sacrament. I have grown slightly attached to this lil Polacca branch. Like I said before, I ain't coming home! Your gonna have to come get me! I told President that he could leave me here forever and just keep sending other missionaries to me. I love being out here separated from the world. Other then that we had to go to Farmington on Friday for a new windshield, someone slashed our sealing on it apparently. Fun times! That was about a 4 hour drive. I went through the center of the reservation and got to pay Shiprock a visit again. That drive though is beautiful, there is a place right after Lukachukai called Buffalo Pass. Oh my heck, it is so pretty we have to drive through it. It reminds me a lot of the Sawtooth mountains and all those campouts I went on. Kinda got homesick, also our senior couple that lives next to us the "Kamkas" are from Idaho Falls. Yesterday, Sister Kamka made some roast beef and potatoes just like what you do mom on Sundays. That made me super homesick, but it tasted so good. Especially the potatoes. After the lesson we had with our man Chris Lowe last night he also fed us some hot dogs and pork chops with A1 sauce!! A1 is about 9 dollars for a small bottle out here and I gave him a hug and we both agree that we won't really eat meat without A1. Good times down here in Polacca. Lessons by campfire...wild dogs running around all the time....chopping wood every day...Native American stories....cant get better than that.
