Our Area

Road to Jimmy Holmer's home

On May 31st we went to find several member that we were told lived in the area.  We went to deliver a Book of Mormon to one fellow. The picture on the left is the road to his house.  The picture below is the front of his house.  He was not home but he was visiting his family in Phoenix.

We get to go four wheeling every day.

The other adventure that we regularly have is making friends with the dogs.  Every house we go to has at least five dogs.  The society is Matriarchal.  We have found that if Grandma speaks then everybody listens.  We don't know what she tells them but we do know that it produces a change in manner.

We had one member missed church last week.  When we asked her why she did not come she replied,"I lost a sheep". So you can guess what lesson we taught her!

 Most of the land traces back several generations through the Grandmother.  This is the home of our Relief Society President.  It is 4 miles from a paved road.  It took an hour of bumpy roads to find her.  She found us when we were going out.  She was hauling a huge tank of water in her truck so she could water her animals and garden

We have also found that those living here are very loyal to the area.  We had one sister whose husband is a welder.  The spent a period of time in St. Louis in a nice apartment.  She could not wait to get home.  
We are off to Tuba City, about an hour south of here.  Elder Tad Callister is in the mission and we are going to a meeting where he is talking to the Missionaries.  Tuba City is on mountain time and we are on Page time so we have to leave at 6:30 for an 8:30 meeting.
