July 29

Ya'at'eeh!

Shiprock is still going well! I am meeting lots of people and the ward is really nice. There are some awesome families in the ward that have had us over for dinner, which is really nice. That Pioneer Day celebration in Kirtland was really fun, we rode on the ward float and helped the ward make frybread for the Navajo Tacos at the celebration afterwards! It was really fun to hang out with members of the ward and work and joke with them in that more casual environment. While we were at the Pioneer Day parade it felt like we were back in Utah in Mormonville, which was nice and funny at the same time. It was really nice to see grass again, haha, it's pretty brown here in Shiprock. I have been getting to know the other Elders in Shiprock better and I get along with them really well too, which is fun. We play basketball all together sometimes and I plan on getting decently good at it while being on the mission. People on the rez love basketball, so we have a sports night every and invite ward members and investigators to come play ball with the missionaries at the church. We stay pretty busy every day, which is nice, but I don't always know what parts to tell you! We teach about 15-20 lessons a week, about half less active members or recent converts and half investigators.


I love you all very much and miss you!!!

Regards and love,
Elder Schaelling
