Fry Bread

On Tuesday this week the Navojo sisters showed us how to make fry bread. I wish I would have taken a picture. They flip it from hand to hand so fast. It is a baking powder dough made from Blue Bird flour. The Relief Society pres. Said she’s been making them since she was a child. When she was 10 she was taken I by her aunt and did the cooking and ironing for the family. It was a family of 9 boys. She is a lovely lady and has six children. She joined the church three years ago. Her husband is a member but was not active till she decided to be baptized. She works in Chinle in charge of a gift shop and her husband works in Colorado during the week.

Another interesting day was when the mission office phoned to ask if we would follow the Elders to Chinle (about 40 min.) because their truck wheel had a noise in it. About 15 min from Chinle they started going slow and pulled to the side of the road when the passenger side wheel came off. It was on fire so they started to throw sand on it but couldn’t get  the flame out till Wayne managed to pull the wheel out of the way. They then noticed the grass on fire 20 feet behind where we had parked. Elder Harper had the shovel in his hand so managed to get it out before it got to the tumbleweed in the fence. The mission sent a tow truck so when it came we sent the Elders with it to be towed to the mission home in Farmington and we went back home.
