Just another manic Monday out on the rez.

Today was our first day of work projects, some on the mission and some at Navajo homes out in the community. Projects included mending roofs, replacing roofs, building additions onto existing structures, painting play equipment, and -our favorite!- weeding the ever-encroaching tumbleweed. Some lucky students got to shovel lovely piles of horse manure, while others organized supplies for the missionaries here.

We've had great times of worship and prayer. Kids are making new friends and gaining new experiences, such as praying out loud for the first time and talking to people they don't know.

Currently most of our team is out in the Navajo community having kids clubs. These kids clubs consist of a Bible story being told or acted out, crafts, games, and getting to know the kids and other relatives that show up to clubs. Unfortunately my kids club was not around so we came back home (our temporary home for the next five days).

Here is some pictures from today:

Sister(s)!!!! ;) and the team!!

Sorry this is a late comment!! Miss you all! I prayed today for you safety and that will continue to pray that you will be able to make connections with Navajo and that you will make a difference in their lives. I hope that God will start to reveal himself to each and everyone of you guys on the remaining week of this trip as you continue to serve him through your work projects and you kid's club activities. Stay safe and healthy and have fun!!!
