YaTaHey,

Today in church we had 79 members (w/over 20 priesthood holders) in attendance, that is about 30 more than when we first came. If we can get them to keep coming we could become a ward instead of a branch! The church is having us start a keyboard class and they will be sending us small keyboards. We passed the list around and 14 people signed up. Only thing is, we do not know how to play, so we may have to recruit another Sister missionary to help teach. The Branch President's son had his mission farewell today, he is leaving to serve a mission in Guam.

We have been really busy with service projects, many families have been in need of yard help so we have been caring for yards and building post fences. It wears us out sometimes, but we are happy to help. It has been wonderful to be serving among the Native American people.

Last week we were asked by a member to check up on her sister. Yesterday when we went to visit the small group of 3 houses, no one was home at the first 2 doors. At the 3rd house a lady from another branch called us over from the backyard. She was relaxing at a table with her foot propped up. She had tripped over her dog a few days prior and hurt her foot real bad. We sat and talked with her for a while and were able to give her a blessing. She then told us she had been feeling lonely and wished she had help so she prayed. Once her prayer was finished we had showed up. It was a wonderful experience and we were so blessed to be put in her path. We are grateful to be instruments in the Lord's hand and hope we can be a blessing to more here.

If you would, please pray for us to find more less active members to bring back into the fold. We could use your prayers. And feel free to send us letters! P.O. Box 4590, Ya-ta-hey, NM 87375

We love you!
