Here we are in Ganado, Az


We have arrived! Sunsets in the fall are especially spectacular. Our trailer home in our mission is nice and right next to the LDS chapel here. It is fairly roomy. It has a nice queen size bed and another bed room on the other end that is used for our office and drop invisitors who don't mind air mattresses. We are right next to the Histoic Hubbell trading post.
We have met the full time elders who live in a little house just east of the Church. There is another couple here with us, The Davises, who used to live in Blanding 30+ years ago.
Ganado is really quite pretty. There are lots of trees and plenty of water. It looked quite dry as we drove down from Blanding, but this area seems a little greener and more variety in trees. The elevation is about 6500 ft. so the weather will be much like Blanding. The couple we replaced bought water from the store, but we both like the water so we are drinking it. I set it in a sunny windown in a glass jar or picture, and let the cholorine escape during the day, then refrigerate it. We also have 3 rez dogs guarding the church and our trailers and keeping the cows out. One just had 6 puppies -- I don't think they put dogs in our missionary job description!!
