Hello Everyone,

So yet another crazy week on the Rez haha but man it just becomes funner and funner!  On tuesday president batt held a district leader training in farmington!  Every district leader in the mission was there!  After the training i felt so much more comfortable i knew a lot more then i did before going into that meeting!  

On wednesday we were going to another lesson in lukachukai and we were on a dirt road driving along and we pass a truck parked on the side of the road!  Not thinking anything of it we just pass it as we passed i saw a girl laying on the ground and a guy kind of over her like talking to her!  So we Just passed by but the whole time my gut was just telling me you have to go back you have to go back!  This whole time Elder Manumaleuna didnt even see it he was zoned out!  So Im just sitting there in silence and the holy ghost is slapping me in the face telling me GO BACK GO BACK!  Haha so finally i flip around and we head back. When we pull up we see the truck parked in a totally different position the guy is now in the truck and the girl is on the ground rolling around in pain!  As we look closer we see tire tracks over her legs?  HE RAN HER OVER!  The whole time were freeking out We got out and asked the girl if she needed help she told us to call an ambulence so we did! (2nd time ive dialed 911 in the last month) haha So finally what next?  So the guy that is still in the truck gets out like he is gonna be coming over to talk to us and man he is hammered so drunk!  he steps like three steps out of his truck and all of the sudden he hurries turns around and reaches back into his truck at that point we were not sticking around to find out!  We were out of there after we left the ambulence pulled up so we went back helped her out and they took her to the hospital we were with the cop for the next hour or so filing a police report and giving him a detailed description of the guy!  He was able to catch the guy that did it by the end of the night and everything returned back to normal!

On to a good experience so saturday we were able to have the ground breaking ceremony for the new church building!  That was an awesome occasion!  These people deserve a church building so much!  It is going to help this town so much!  It was a great thing we had our mission president show up for it,  the navajo nation president was also there (ben shelly) There were lots of great talks given!  This area one day will blossom as a rose just like it promises in doctrine and covenants 49:24!  The work is moving right along and it is only starting to begin!  I love you guys have a very fun safe week!

Love Elder Rushton
