Three Months! (crazy)

Yaateeh everybody!
 
   Mom, I am glad to see that you are keeping such good track of time. It has been three months not two.  That means that I am one toothbrush down. It's hard to believe that I am already 1/8 of the way done. Sure it doesn't seem like much, but when I have been waiting 19 years to do this; time has absolutely flown by.  It seems like just yesterday we went to the temple and the next day got dropped off.  It has been amazing though. I have learned so much and have had so much fun.
    Well this week has been kind of a weird and crazy week.  The other Elder's truck got hit by a quad the other week, so last Monday we had to take it into Gallup to get fixed.  We gave them our truck to use for the time that there's was in the shop, since we live in our area and they cover the branch about 20 miles up the highway.  So, that means that Elder Smith and I were walking for a few days, which ended up being longer then we expected.  Their truck was in the shop until Thursday.  It was fun to get out and walk instead of being in the truck all day.  It was really hard, because we couldn't go and see our investigators that live outside of town though.  We had a really good week of investigators at church this week.  We had five investigators at church, and four of them were for the first time.  We were very excited to have them there.  One of them was a blind young man that we met last week.  He just moved down here from Farmington, and was meeting with the missionaries while he was living there.  He has a baptismal date for the 14th. We are excited, we have two baptisms on the 14. The other is a lady that we have been working with since October.  The other three that were there for the first time was a mom and dad and daughter.  They are very enthusiastic about the gospel and we are excited for them.  Saturday night when we got home we went to ask the senior couple if they could pick up one of our investigators and he was not feeling very well so we got to give him a blessing.  After we got done and got home, we got a call from the relief society president asking if we could go to the hospital and give a blessing. That was some thing I had never done before. You're suppose to get escorted by security, but they just watched us from the cameras and they have to open the door for you.  It's kind of weird because only Navajos can go to the hospital, but all of the doctor's and dentists are white. Pretty much all of the dentists are members, there are three of the dentists that are members.  It's weird they can't even take their own kids and work on them.  But it was really neat to go and give a blessing to a little boy and talk with his mom.  She had some questions so we were able to answer them for her.
    Okay in regards to calling, we just called the AP's and they said to call. They didn't give us any details. So we are planning on calling after church. We get out at 12 so I believe that is 11 your time.  So i was thinking about planning on 2 your time 3 our time if that works? If there is a time that works better for you write me a letter today and send it so I know.
   Well on worldly news we heard that the Royal wedding finally happened and that Osama Bin Laden was killed.
   I hope you all have a wonderful week! I will talk to you soon! Literally!
