First week!

Well its been a week today since I arrived here in Arizona and I must say that I love it and feel extremely blessed to be here.

Recap of the weekend...Saturday I slept in...late. It wasn't until I took a loooong nap again yesterday that I finally figured out why I'm so tired...Camp of course :-). Anyway on Saturday John when into town all day and Ruth and I hung out here watching movies and being generally lazy. (we watched the newest pride and prejudice and Pollyanna and part of Swiss family Robinson Mama :-) She made an "English breakfast" for us for dinner which we had with a lovely cup of tea. For those of you who are wondering (or still wondering) what English breakfast is it is soft boiled eggs served in the shells, with toast (we put garlic on ours) cut into strips which are called your "solders" :-). You cut off the top of your egg and dip your "solders" into the yolk to eat it, then you use a spoon to scoop out the egg whites which have been cooked solid. So its really like eating a fried egg in the shell but its not fried so its better for you. :-) We had our English breakfast with fruit.

Yesterday we went to church which was an interesting experience for me because the services were half in English and half in Navajo because there are some older Navajos who come that don't speak much English. I really like Navajo. It is a very pretty language. I think it would be fun to learn to speak some :-) After church we had lunch and then were all generally lazy again.

Which brings me to today. I was not lazy at all today. In fact I got quite a bit done. I worked by myself all day today at the house we are working on remodeling because John had to go into town to get supplies for then the youth group arrives on Sunday because he is driving a truck back to Kansas to tomorrow and won't be home until Thursday so if you could be praying for his trip that would be amazing! :-) Also be praying for Ruth and I as we are here getting ready for the youth group's arrival. Oh and please pray for the VBS the youth group will be doing in the evening all of next week. It is held in the houses of the Navajo people around us which is a great outreach to the community here.

Anyway back to what I did today. I painted two walls in the house with a brush because they are textured and the roller wasn't working well enough, I painted a door and its door frame in the kitchen (only one I didn't paint last week because I didn't have the right color), scrubbed down 5 walls of wood paneling, mopped all the laminate flooring, and cleaned 3 large windows that were really really really dirty. So I really gave my arms/shoulders a work out today. But that's ok because tomorrow Ruth, Kathy and I are all going into town for the day. :-) I think we are done with the remodeling in the house now...unless John thinks of one more thing to do which he might. :-)

So to recap the prayer requests...John traveling, Ruth and I here. The youth group coming, and the VBS they will have in the evening all of next week. :-)

Well I've gotta run!
