I'm getting transferred to Mancos, Colorado, and my companion will be Elder Luke! I realized that I have always had a new companion every transfer. That's a thing.
Not much happened this week. We didn't even get to visit hardly anyone because they were either gone or didn't want to see us. We saw people over in Ramah, though! We had dinner with some members named the Rivers (The 'i' makes the 'eye' sound in their name) and they invited us over on Monday to get some haircuts, which we are doing right after we do our emails. My hair is getting super curly, so I'm excited for that.
Hey, I will have technically served in all four states of my mission when I get to Colorado because I went on exchanges to Monument Valley while I was in Kayenta! That was fast.
In my studies, I am reading in Isaiah and I'm trying my best to understand what he is talking about. I found a good scripture in chapter 26 verse 4 that says "Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for the Lord JEHOVA is everlasting strength". That one is self explanatory and easy to understand as well.
I got a picture of me eating some Olive oil Mayonnaise. It's the healthy alternative (It's actually pudding)!
The third picture is some neat graffiti that we found in Zuni.
I got some batman stamps from the person at the post office. He was holding on to them, but said we could have them! Elder Simonsen got Wonder Woman stamps.
Well, thanks for reading my email. Sorry there isn't more!

Hi, Dad!
Honestly, not much is happening in Zuni. People are often not home or just don't want to talk to us. We were able to give a lesson to some investigators named Elton and Sammie, and they gave us a sour Kool-Aid Popsicle that was surprisingly good, as well as a bottle of water for each of us and a rice-crispy treat that they made for us. We also chopped some wood for about an hour on Tuesday for a member named Sister Vicenti. That was fun. Oh, I should show you a picture of the grip tape on my axe! Thanks for the grip tape, by the way.
I've been trying to read the Old testament, and I'm on Isaiah right now, which isn't the easiest thing to read. I really like the story of the floating ax-head in the river. The Prophet Elijah makes an axe-head float by tossing a stick in the river where the head fell in. I think that's a good example of the priesthood in action!
Okay, well not much is happening other than putting a lot of miles on our truck. Zuni life is a little boring sometimes because the only places to go are Subway and Jewelry shops. People are often not home because of this, so we always put double or triple back-up plans on our planner so that we don't run out of people to see and get all bored.
With love,
Elder Dittmer
