Bluff, Utah
Well everyone
it is official, I am a true Bluffoon, or so someone told me this week.
Elder Middleton is my new companion here in Bluff and we have been
having a stellar time! Elder Middleton is from Sacramento California and
he is 6'5", we are quite the sight to see walking around on the
Reservation. This was the slowest week of the mission so far
(number-wise) we had 4 lessons, but it was a very productive week. Most
of our appointments cancelled on us and we were able to reschedule, but
we were also able to meet a few very promising new people. There are
some incredible people that we were able to meet here, I can't wait to
see how they progress. There were some down sides to this week too, one
of the Recent Converts here, Wilbur, has gone back to his Medicine Man
ways and has stopped coming to church. Now let me make this clear for
everyone who is reading, the Navajo have a wonderfully beautiful culture
but as the scriptures tell us "no mad can serve two masters" they
cannot float between 2 beliefs hoping that one of them is right and that
when the time comes they will be able to choose one and be right, you
must make you r decision now and know that it is the right one.
Yesterday we went on an amazing hike. It is about a mile and a half down
a canyon then you see some of the best ruins in the Navajo Nation,
Poncho House. These ruins are very old and we couldn't get too close
because they were fenced off and because we are missionaries we can't
break the law so we looked from afar. Well that's it for this week.

Love, Elder Warnick
