Hey guys this email is for everyone because I don't have a ton of time to write.
But here we go.. so I have a letter for you guys I'll mail it today or tomorrow I hope ---its kind of hard to mail stuff and to get packages we have to drive like an hour to get them but its really beautiful out here and I did see the moon last night. It was incredible and apparently once it started to get covered Navajo tradition is you cant eat or drink until it is uncovered again but I ate a baked potato so hopefully I don't get killed by a snake or something.
Anyway the people here truly are incredible multiple people have told us about visions that blow my mind like one lady had a dream of a tree that was the true gospel and all the other churches where its roots and all lead back to the tree trunk so that's crazy awesome (lehi s dream) kinda. Also, another guy who will be getting baptized in October had a dream where a super deep English voice told him to look at the bottom of a hill so he did then he saw his daughter that he had awhile later. Yeah its pretty cool to think about this stuff. the Book of Mormon is huge here and it can be really effective especially to the natives. I have heard a lot of Navajo talking by the tribal elders (not lds missionaries just old men) and its really cool. My companion is really good he is really spiritual and prays for really a long time. Im trying to pray until he stops but its hard. We climbed the Dilkon mountain (pict above) one morning it was sweet! It didn't take long cuz its like a 3 min drive from our mobile. Which is by the way is clean now because we cleaned it. But it was kinda nasty in the bathroom. I have gotten to try some fry bread it was pretty good. I also got to try pinions? They are like sunflower seed but they taste like burnt popcorn - I like them. My companion has only been out 7 weeks so he is kinda new but it doesn't seem like it. He and his last companion killed a rattle snake which we have in the fridge so idk how or when but we are going to eat it or something. There are some jewelry makers that are in the ward like Richard Singer and Benny Beckis and the stuff they make is cool but expensive. I'm doing good and learning so much. Also, there are only like 40 people in the branch but we are trying to get it to 80 because then we can build an actual church building that is big and has a b ball court.
I saw a dead horse. There are a lot of dogs and it actually makes me sad some times but, I still don't miss buddy at all. Anyways thanks Jaden for watering my tree and it sounds like you guys are all doing good with school and sports and stuff.
Love you - Chase
Also, I will send the Memory cards when I get them but it might be a while because I have to get a slip in the mail then take that to the post office except there is no post office so it wont be until p day or district meeting that I can get it. bye and good luck to every one.
oh yeah -we have a garden ill take a picture so you guys can see it later it is actually pretty good. We've got a lot of tomatoes and Elder Tollefson doesn't really like them so yippy they are all mine. Im gonna get some white cheese for them. Also can you send be our cookie recipe and some crock pot recipes
