Arizona Connection

Thank you all for the birthday wishes through calls, cards and e-mail cards. I had a great day and even had a big party with the Sr. missionaries though they didn't know 'till they arrived that it was my birthday. Our going home party was an adventure through 4-wheel drive country to get to Eggshell arch which is in a canyon behind Inscription House. We can't get to it without going around to the othere side of the canyon. See the picture attached.
After our trek of 6 miles we came back to Inscription House Chapel for a picnic of home made subway sandwiches and fun visiting. We have a great group of Sr's. We will miss them.
We are winding up our teaching of several inactive families and next Saturday we have a baptism of an 8 year old we taught. It will be in Page and we are doing the planning because we have a brand new Primary presidency and they don't know what they are doing. Training them is my goal before we leave. We have one of our reactivated elders going to and addiction recovery program so if he sticks with it he will be a success story. There are so many problems on the reservation that you have to feel good for the small advances that our presence here may have brought about.
We have made many friends and we will keep in touch and keep them in our hearts and albums.
We are anxious to see everyone in a few weeks.

Love to all!
