As we said earlier, one of the things which we had hoped to be able to do during this trip was to begin to develop a relationship with the area residents. In that regards, one of the most memorable things which took place during our stay with Joe and
Marlene was the fact that we were able to spend time with them in their
living room both learning from then and sharing what the Lord had been
doing in our lives. In this picture we were attempting to learn some of
the Navajo language. Needless to say, our attempts to do so provided them
with quite few moments of laughter. Emma was kind enough to allow us to
tape her singing 'Jesus Loves Me' and 'He's Got the Whole World In His
Hands' in her native language.
For dinner that night the women made Navajo Fry Bread for us. I was invited to try my hand making it. That also provided them with more than a few opportunities to experience 'holy laughter.'
Later
that afternoon our praise team had the opportunity to practice in the shade
of our cargo trailer for the evening's service. Not only was it hot, but
as you can see from the picture below, the wind which blew all day was
so strong that it prettly well flattened out the front tent.
While
we were initially concerned about the possibility that they might not know
the more alternative Christian praise songs we normally sing we were able
to use an overhead projector with transparencies. 
One
of the Navajo had seen to it that a portable generator was available for
the evening so that we could rely on lighting other than the propane lanterns
we had with us in our trailer. We were also a little concerned that
they might not like the various praise choruses which we normally used.
As it turned out though we had no need to be concerned in that area.
Marlene told us later that they all loved the songs we sang and only wished
that they could have played along with us. We told them that we would put
together a tape of those songs, along with transparencies and the guitar
cords for them so that they could learn them for their future services.
After the praise and worship we did 2 of the dramas and dances which we
had learned while at Camp Rosalie.
The next morning we again had a VBS. Only this time most of the kids who
came were brought by the Navajo themselves in whatever vehicles they had
available to them. We again shared the love of Jesus with them and spent
time with them letting them know that we really do care about them and
their families.
This however did not stop our time of spiritual warfare. On the following
morning several members of the team felt led to go to the Four Corners
Monument and pray for the entire area. We literally shouted to the North
and the South and sang to the East and the West.
