SERVICE PROJECTS

Elder Lybbert taking out the old broken wood

As senior missionaries we have the  opportunity to do service projects for the members. Home repair is often needed here. Sister Larue left her home here on the Rez and worked and raised her family in Phoenix until about a year or so ago when there were so many lay offs in Arizona. Her sister and family had lived in her home and done a lot of damage. This door jam was broken when the door had been forced open.

The finishing touches. Screwing the plate on.

The highlight  of this week was seeing Terrel baptized. He turned eight years old last Oct. and when the missionaries visited him a few weeks later  and talked about baptism he got excited about being baptized. His family are less active members  but since we started teaching him his mother has been coming out to church and the Dad attended the baptism and is very receptive. We have enjoyed getting to know the family and be a positive influence in their life.

This is another of Arizonas spectacular landscapes. These are called the TeePees and are part of the Painted Dessert. We have enjoyed being able to see the sights of arizona. When I was a teen our family was given a monthly subscription to the Arizona Highways magazine  and I loved to look at it. Now I have the opportunity to see it first hand.

We are enjoying our work here. Time is going faster which is a good sign that we are busier. This week we are planning a trip to Farmington to do some shopping and stop by the Mission office.

Love to all,
Elder and Sister Lybbert
