News from Shiprock!

First official day in Shiprock! Just applying the cleaning skills me motha taught me! 

Last week all we heard from Elder Sandberg was that he got to Shiprock and CLEANED HOUSE!  Literally.  He sent this picture.

This week he had time to answer a few questions I asked:

To answer your question about white washing, it can be a PAIN at times.. Last week we literally spent an hour looking to find this place to email at.. And this is not a big town.. Then the joy of having records of past elders with all this information for these teaching appointments, and NO contact info! USELESS! Ah! The fun part is that lately I've had to resort to one of my least favorite finding methods- tracting.. The reason I'm not a fan of it, and the reason I try my best to teach all the elders I train and serve, is because they need a support system.. The best way to go about the work is through the members, building relationships with them, and then lighting a fire underneath them to do the work. Long term, it is so much better! Short term, tracting is good... Since we don't really know where anyone lives right now, we are doing lots of tracting!

Things are going so good.. The first couple weeks have been rough because of getting thrown out of my groove, and just all the newness of this place has made it challenging.. It has kicked my BUTT! BUt I love it! It's exactly what I've been looking for, and I now see things even more clearly... 

The only real downside to the area is no free weights! AHHH! I haven't had that since Crownpoint! I'm going to die... Who knew that I became such a gym rat!
