Cutting firewood June 2013



A semi load of wood holds from 13-15  cords of wood.  I bet you are all jealous that you can't be here helping, but John, Jamie and the kids got to be a big part of getting it cut or at least a third of the load.  I wondered why the pile looked smaller than it did the last time.
Brother Erickson has a new way of delivering wood.  He has this amazing little tractor that has a "knacker" device that just scoops them up and allows him to drop them where he wants.
  I know I have pictures, but not sure where they are at the moment.
  Elder Olson wants to take the big blocks back to the rez because most of them have never seen a piece of wood that big.  He would like to give several people "chopping blocks" from Wyoming.
  We spoke today in Sacrament.  Elder Olson had a difficult time controlling the tears when he spoke about his love for the Navajo people. 
 I spent a lot to time preparing and was able to share  a little of what it is like to be a part of such a wonderful experience serving on the rez among the Navajo People.  We love being home, but miss our other home. ;o}and our other family.
  It has been great to see so many of our friends, even if they are "pale" in comparison to our friends on the rez.
  Hope all is well with you and your family.
Elder and Sister Olson
