Corn pollen

                                                          FLOWER OF THE WEEK
This innocent looking plant with pretty little yellow flowers and fern like leaves is not as innocent as it looks. The yellow flowers turn into seed pods that dry and are the goat head thorns that get into the carpet and most anywhere you walk.

One of our neighbours came asking if he could get some corn pollen. He had a small bowl and shook the pollen into it. The traditional natives use it in their prayers.

On Friday we went to Monticello, met up with Elder Lybberts cousin Yvonne  and her husband Jim and went to the Temple with them. After they took us to their home in Moab and showed us around we spent the night. A very pleasant time.  
Coming home we took advantage of the sights along the way. This is Mexican Hat rock.

 This is called the Goosenecks State Park which overlooks a deep meander of the San Juan river.  The river is a thousand feet down. Over a distance of one and a half miles it travels six miles.

Spectacular views are plentiful in southern Utah and Arizona. In Utah looking towards Monument valley in Arizona.

                                                    An interesting and beautiful formation.

We had two more of the Begay family get baptized this week. Elder Elder G was able to come back to baptize Naaniiba which was fun for her.  Elder G was the one that encouraged the family to start coming to church by phoning on Sunday mornings.

This Sunday was our branch conference and now we leave to Chinli for Elder Lybberts stake high  priest meeting so we have had a busy day.
Love to all,
Elder and Sister Lybbert
