Hello,

So pretty much just another week on the rez haha sometimes i have to like check myself and remind my self im a belegana (white person)  i honestly sometimes think im navajo! haha When i see people of my fellow color out here its like what they heck are they doing on the rez? haha oh shoot im white too!  I am loving it!  I think Elder Swett is really starting to get used to things haha especially after this week!  We knocked on this guys door and haha it was actually last week!  It was Elder Swetts first door he has ever knocked on haha this guy answers and invites us right in were like oh hey cool!  We walk in and sit down on his couch he then goes into his bedroom to get something he comes out with some paper and some kind of weed haha!  He rolls it right in front of us lights it up and smokes it right in our face!  The whole time Elder Swett was trying to teach him haha im trying to give him the nudge lets get outta here!  He began to tell us these stories how he tried to hang himself a month ago from the ceiling fan and how he failed at it so thats why god wants him to be alive at first i was like whatever dude then i looked at his neck and his neck had a huge scar all around it then i knew he was serious!  I was like Elder Swett we gotta get outta here haha he was so focused on trying to teach the guy!  Lets just say you can only teach by the spirit and if the spirit is gone there is no point of teaching!  We should have never have even walked in it was bad but hey its all a learning experience haha!  So our nice little camp trailer (NOT)  has had quite the week we opened up the cupboard where we keep our toilet paper and for some reason all of our toilet paper was shredded so i sat there and thought to myself hmmm what the crap?  Boom popped right into my head it has to be a mouse!  So the next day we open the silverwear drawer  and a mouse was right there it freeked me out so bad haha So we pretty much washed everything in our drawers and are keeping all of our silverwear on the kitchen table until we can get some traps today!  It isnt fun! We had stake conference this last weekend it was really good it was in chinle and we had a general authority come Elder Foster!  He was a great talker really motivated!  He talked about the importance of family and the importance of communication in family it was an amazing thing and that is exactly what the people down here needed to hear it was really good!  I love you all and hope you have a great week!

Love Elder Rushton
