Hello everyone,

Im doing really good still!  We had a really good week we did a lot of stuff!   On thursday we had a zone training meeting in Chinle and President and sister Batt showed up! Which was really really cool it is always nice to be around Pres. and Sis. Batt you can feel there love for you and they have such a glow about them!  This week sacrament numbers were really down because they had three squaw dances here in Lukachukai which is ridiculous! Its just a native ceremony thing!  NOT GOOD!!!!  Its so hard to get these people to realize that the traditions they do are not good! It comes from there wicked traditions of there fathers!   If they would just read the book of mormon they would understand that it talks about the wicked traditions of their fathers!  It all boils down to the great apostacy! We are getting a building that is going to be built here in Lukachukai which is really exciting construction starts in september and it should be finished sometime in december so i might still be here! They will be moving our camper over there sometime probably in november so we can live on the church grounds! Back to the traditions thing people around here will go and spend thousands of dollars on a medicine man so that he can give them some peyotte and heal them!  Me and Elder Fonnesbeck have given so many preisthood blessings in my time being here!  People ask us all the time did we have to go through schooling to have the preisthood!  How much do they have to pay for a preisthood blessing?  PEOPLE ITS FREE!!!!!!!!! Its is a gift strait from Jesus Christ to us!  He restored it to the earth!  It is the most powerfull things here on the earth!  I have finally come to realize what a big deal the preisthood really is!  It is such a blessing to able to have it!  I hope all is well back home!  I would like to give a special shout out to my bros back home leaving this week theyll be great!
