Navajo Mountain
We have been very busy with teaching almost every day, but it is frustrating because they are friendly but at the same time are indiferrent to the message. They don't want to go to the trouble of changing thier lives, even though it would improve them. We hope maybe we are planting seeds that one day someone else will harvest. We are looking forward to coming home, though we are concerned for this branch because they are loosing several of their strongest families due to the economy. They are teachers at the local schools and are being let go.
Last Saturday the branch had an activity to climb Navajo Mt. I decided I would try it though I knew I wouldn't make it to the top. I managed to hike uphill about 1 mile. That may not seem like much but I did better than I thought I would at an altitude of between 8,000 and 9,000 feet and very steep
We are planning an excursion to see Antelope Canyon and Eggshell Arch on May 23rd as a farewell party to us and another couple. They did the same trip last fall but we missed it due to Keith's grand daughter's baptism.
The weather has been crazy. Winter is still not letting go and I think we are skipping spring. I am looking forward to working in my garden.
Love to all
