This new year has been great! Not too much happened, but I've been having a good time just visiting people and exploring a little.
While we were out proselyting, we went out of town to try and find a referral given to us from some members in the ward. Outside of town there are a few scattered homes here and there and none of them have addresses, so it can be really hard to find the correct home without really good directions. So we were out there for a while trying to find this person's home and we didn't really know which house to knock on because we got bad directions. Eventually we just decided to try this random house on the right side of the road some distance from the main road. We knocked on the door a couple of times and nobody answered, so we decided to keep looking. We drove past that house and down another dirt road and came across an old lady with a kid riding his bike. We stopped and asked her if she knew where this investigator was, and she pointed at the very house that we had knocked on! However, since the person wasn't home or didn't want to answer the door, we just headed back into town. That was a fun experience.
On New Year's Eve we were supposed to be home by 6pm, but we got permission to go over to Elder and Sister Beutler's home for an hour to have a New Years Eve party with the Johnsons, Aylworths, and Beutlers. We had a great time, and there was a lot of food. They all kept telling stories about their past Christmases and what they would do traditionally for Christmas.
We had a potential investigator come to church on Sunday, and he was a little drunk. Still, we had a good talk, and he says he wants to start coming to the LDS church now. He also talked about how he fights at street tournaments for money. He joked with me about beating me up, which I thought was kind of scary. Eventually, we had to find him a ride home, and Brother Gibson happily offered to do so. We rode with them to his house and it turns out his house is about four miles out of Kayenta. It will be fun to visit him some time.
I would upload some photos, but this computer doesn't have any space on it to do so, so it won't let me send any. Sorry about that!
Happy New Year!
