Elder Dittmers Journey to New Mexico

Subject: Yas! (That means "snow" in Navajo)

This week was pretty crazy. A lot of stuff happened. It snowed a lot! The snow reached about up to my knees at one point, but it has melted a lot since then. 

Towards the beginning of the week, we were chopping wood in the middle of a blizzard for about 4 and a half hours. It was way fun! 

At church yesterday, one of the young members here got the Aaronic priesthood. He was really shy about it, but now that he holds the priesthood, he will be a huge help to his family. Their family still struggles with coming to church because of disease and sicknesses, and one of them hasn't been baptized yet. The one who hasn't been baptized is 12 years old and she doesn't have too strong of a desire to be baptized yet. She's really shy, but she is slowly opening up to us.

I'm out of emailing time, but thanks for checking up on me. Hagoónee!

 -we went to the [Snowflake, Arizona] temple on Tuesday, it was great!
 It was a great temple trip. We went through the endowment session and then participate in some sealings! That was a totally new experience for me. I got to be a witness and be a child for a couple of them.

 -Snow!

 -we made a pizza using the recipe on the back of a box of dough we bought.

Zone Conference

I'm planning on going to the petrified forest in a bit with a very kind member. Unfortunately, I can't visit the good half of the park because it's outside of the mission, but the northern half is okay to visit! I can't wait!

I finished my best beaded creation yet. I made a beaded pen that has a beaded cap! I hope it doesn't leak like the last one! I'll show you in the video call.

I love you mom! I couldn't have asked for a better family.

That's the church in Holbrook. Elder Kersey is playing the organ, he's the district leader. Elder Packer is in the back doing some thumbs-up shenanigans. Both are great missionaries!

We were able to video chat and talk with Elder Dittmer on his birthday.  But, the connection was terrible!
