So wow, it has been a busy fun week! So as you know I got transferred to Wide Ruins, AZ! Which is a little tiny town on the Navajo rez! I would guess we have about 400 people in our whole area! The homes are very spread out! We live in Sanders, AZ which is a bout 30 minutes away, that you have to take a little dirt road to get to! We started out last week by doing some branding and castrating cattle it was so much fun! I love doing that kind of stuff we had the Sanders Elders with us as well too so that was fun! One of the bulls that we were castrating, I was trying to take it down and flip it over and in the process it stomped on my foot pretty good. Haha so for the past week my foot has been pretty swollen and it looks pretty cool so that was fun! Later on in the week we had a pine wood derby with the branch in Sanders. Since Wide Ruins is not quite a branch yet all of the activities we do with the Sanders Branch so it is so much fun. My first day they handed me a Pine Wood Derby car told me to carve it out and be ready to go by Thursday night (2 days). I carved a pretty good looking car and colored it with the sharpie! It has been a crazy week trying to get to know the area and the people. I have met some good people that are very nice! As I said before for church, we meet out in Wide Ruins. There is a little abandoned house that someone lent the church, so the church has fixed it up and put a wood stove in there and that is where we meet for sacrament! There is no running water and no electricity so it is sure something totally different! Anyway so early Sunday morning we got up and headed out there to start the fire and get it warm for sacrament well it was sad because the no one showed up for church it was just us and a high councilmen from Holbrook, AZ. I know that the Lord has sent me here for a reason and I know that there is work to be done here! I love my new companion Elder Searle who is from Mesa, AZ. He is a hard worker who I can really get a long with! Anyway I love my new area I miss Sheep Springs. Things here definitely are not the same but i will learn to love it! Take care and have a great week!
