New Mexico Missions Trip- Day 3

July 26,2009

Well we have come to the end of day 3 and all is well. We had another great day today.

We went to a local Navajo church this morning.We had a great time of worship in both english and Navajo. After lunch, our cooks served up another great meal.

Since it was the sabbath we did not work today. We did spend the afternoon and evening sightseeing. I believe we are in some of the most beautiful land in America. We travelled to a park where we saw some dried up volcano’s and something called the Ice Cave. The Ice Cave is a cave that grows ice in the middle of the dessert. Today there was 22 feet of ice. It was 31 degrees down at the ice which was a welcome cool down. Isn’t God amazing? He can even grow ice in the middle of the dessert!

We enjoyed a very authentic navajo meal tonight at a local restaurant called Pizza Hut. We had planned on eating at a local place but arrived in town too late. After dinner we headed to Walmart to pick up a few supplies and then headed home.

We are all anxious for tomorrow to come. We will be continuing our consturction work in the morning. Then in the afternoon we will start our basketball clinic.

Please be praying on Monday that God will bring kids to the clinic and that it will move smoothly. Tonight on the car ride home I asked the students if the trip was living up to their expectations and they all replied… “Much better than I expected.”

Thank you for all of your prayers. Please pray for the Navajo nation of which our hearts are growing a deeper burden for as each day goes on.

Until next time,

Jon Biggs
