Finding Waldo Pic Posting

Dear Family and Friends,
For some reason I could not add anything to the Finding Waldo pictures. If you look very closely, you will see a hand in the middle picture. That hand belongs to Mary Maloney, daughter of Gloria Babbit. Mary yelled to Elder Olson to take her picture. Obviously, she is well hidden behind the corn stalks. Their family is so proud of that garden and so they should be, it started slowly, but continues to extend, with big plans for next year. Neighbors have caught the vision also. I think there will be many more in that part of the rez next year. The best news is that Martin will be the mentor and he knows just how to crack the whip and get things going. ;o}
The top picture is Floyd and Mrs. Manygoats. It was their son, Floyd Jr., who was able to get things started with Elder Olson on a very windy day. I remember it well. I sat in the truck and wondered how they could work so hard with the sand in their faces, but they did it and look at the result. There will be several more in their neighborhood next year.
The last picture is one that has been on the blog before. It is a long distance picture of George Babbitt's corn field that Elder Olson put in as a surprise. It has not tasselled yet, but we still have another month or more of growing time.
It was pouring buckets of rain outside for a few mins., but the rain has moved on. The flowers outside our window were doing a very fancy dance of bouncing up and down with the gusts of wind. It was hard to see across the street in front of the church because of the gusts of wind and rain. It was awesome to watch.
Elder Olson bakes a lot of cookies and lemon pies for some of his "favorites", but tonight I am going to make chocolate chip cookies and main line all that I dare eat. :o] What better time to bake cookies than during a rain storm.
We had two amazing sacraments today, but basically I haven't attended one that wasn't amazing, of course I wasn't listening when we spoke ;o} I was to nervous.
Sister Claw spoke about how her faith had increased in the last few weeks waiting for some test results. The test results were negative. Then another Sister during Sunday School announced very calmly that she has breast cancer. Her husband had colin cancer surgery about 12 days ago. It is amazing how much faith these people have and how willing they are to share their testimonies.
Last night we had an investigator taught in our apt and she will come back next Sunday for another lesson. She said that Elder Olson's comment on 'female rain' which another lady had used to describe the dripping of the water from the emitter hose, had touched her in a spiritual way. She also said Elder Olson accepted people for who they were without ever judging them, which he has been known to do. ;o] His love for the people has had a profound impact on many of the people here.
My goal was to give out 10 Book of Mormons. I have given out 6 ;o] Elder Olson is reading the Navajo copy of the Book of Mormon. I like the pictures. ;o] The verses seem much longer and the words as not easy to get your tongue around, but I am going to try and memorize one scripture. The key word being "try"
The Relief Society had a family emergency so I gave the lesson on Faith in Jesus Christ.
What could I share about faith that they hadn't already lived. They are amazing, but I've said that a million times right?
