These may look like large bodies of flowing water but in reality they are rivers which at some time were full of water but now are only sand. Many of the willows are dead from lack of water. We have not had any significant moisture since December but they say that in June we generally get torrential rains that fill the rivers and washes.
FLOWER OF THE WEEK
I believe this is a Ragleaf Bahia but it definitely is from the aster family. There are so many pretty flowers blooming now even with no moisture and in the sand.
This is our messy kitchen on a Monday morning. The Elders come for breakfast and to do their emailing and its baking day and wash day so lots of action. Elder G offered to make the loaves of bread.
Looking back on our week nothing spectacular happened but we did have some good visits and did bits of service here and there. The people here really depend on the missionaries.We seem to be their security blanket so hopefully we can fill their need. Our love for the gospel grows as we serve those around us.
Last evening we went to a grade five promotion ceremony at the school for Caleb Yazzie. It was quite interesting. Most all the girls were dressed in their native dress and much of the program was in the Navajo language which included "American the Beautiful" and the allegiance to the flag. Today we attended the dinner put on in Calebs' honour which included about 60 family and friends.
The down side of our week was knowing our daughter at home was sick and had ruptured appendices and all we can do is hope and pray everything will be okay.
Love to all
Elder and Sister Lybbert
