Hello everyone,

So this week was lots of fun!  We had the dine college rodeo here in Tsaile.  There were schools from all over Arizona and New Mexico!  Me and Elder Fonnesbeck volunteered to help at it and so we did a lot of helping and a little watching haha ok it was totally the other way around!  The rodeo was awesome to watch!  It  was good for us to get out in the community and wear our nametags and see that we support everyone!  We talked to lots of people and it turned out to be a very good experience! We did a lot of service this week like 15 hours everything from fixing houses, to hauling MORE wood, to going to the rodeo!  It was good we are so sore right now though!  It is getting a lot colder down here which is alright its not to bad about the same as Idaho! We had the opportunity to go to the Snowflake Temple yesterday!  Man that was amazing to see all of us elders in the temple it was very cool! The new video was amazing! The Snowflake temple was beautiful it sits up on top of the hill with all the red rocks surrounding it! Sunday it was crazy we were just there having a normal sacrament meeting and all of the sudden we had investigator after investigator walk in haha it was very cool too see!  On saturday we were coming home from Lukachukai and it was raining all night and well lets just say we kind of got caught in a flash flood we were driving up the road and the current of water was coming down the road haha it was about two feet deep and so I remembered some great advice that my buddy denim hansen gave to me back in our dirt bike days!  "If in doubt,  throttle out" haha and so that is exactly what i did pedal to the floor and we barely made it through haha it was so much fun though! Anyway hope everything is well back home!

Love Elder Rushton
