Uneventful Week

                                                            FLOWER OF THE WEEK
The rose is definitely not native to Arizona but it is a bright spot in our yard when it blooms, that is till the wind blows and the petals fall off.

These are some of the Shimas we have met and visit with.Upper left to right. You have met Annie. This is her spot on our couch where she has a little nap. Ruth is 95 and still weaves small rugs. Here she is winding yarn. Shima waiting for the commodities truck. Lower left to right. Rennie, a lovely lady, who herds her sheep three miles to water and feed each day. Mrs Chee who was delighted to have us take her picture. Marcella who invited us to lunch. Our neighbor who has the sheep that pasture here out bringing them home. A lady at the flea market wearing beautiful jewellery.

This Hogan is built the traditional way which is interesting. It is used for ceremonial purposes. This Shima lives in a more modern Hogan.

Transfer week and it was Elder Gs turn to move on. He is wearing a Bluebird apron which I make for departing missionaries. We get very attached to our missionaries and miss them but Elder G is still in the same zone so we may get to see him. Elder Amott is now with us from Utah and Elder Akaka from Hawaii is still here but this is the first time we have not had at least one Elder from Idaho. Our new mission pres. is from Idaho so I guess that counts.

The highlight of our week was a 40th birthday party for Roxanne. We had them plus a few friends for dinner and Elder Lybbert baked a black forest cake in his dutch oven.

Our week was not very productive since we are still without a vehicle. We won't go into the particulars but we are on the Rez. We do need your faith and prayers so we can get on with the work here.

Love to all,
Elder and Sister Lybbert
