I have moved to Kirtland now so it is a 30 minute drive to and from Shiprock everyday, so that cuts a little into our proselyting time which is unfortunate. But we live with the zone leaders...
We taught seminary every day for the past week! It was a lot of fun, but the senior couple is here now and they are teaching this week and for the rest of the year. There are only three kids in the class right now, but there are 1-3 kids who are trying to get signed up. It was way cool to teach and all the kids are super awesome and I hope they learn to love the gospel and allow it to work in their life throughout this year of seminary!
We get fed dinner 2-4 times a week usually, so pretty good! There are a lot of really awesome families in the ward that are really nice to us.
This week we had two baptisms! One was of this little girl who is 8 years old and her name is Nicole. Neither of her parents are members, but her older sister was baptized a few years ago and a few people in her extended family are members of the ward. She is such a funny girl and I'll send you a picture of her and her sister and mom if I have time! We have been teaching a girl named Stevie also. She married an RM and then started to become interested in the church and she is going to be such a solid member! We have seriously taught her everything we possibly can: patriarchal blessing, temples, etc. She was baptized by her husband up in Chicago (he is there for a few months because of the Navy) but will be confirmed in our ward
next Sunday.
Aimee should be expecting a surprise in the mail sometime this week or next! Thank you so much Aimee for diligently writing me letters every week, I love getting to read them! I'm glad you're having a fun time :)
I have been eating a lot of fry bread and tortillas (Navajo tortillas are different from Mexican tortillas, they are more thick) and some lamb and mutton stews. I actually has menudo with tripe (stomach) this past week.
Regards and love,Elder Schaelling
