We finally arrived! Friday July 18, 1983 was a long day driving in from Oklahoma City, OK. We stopped in Albuquerque, NM for supper at the Royal Fork Buffet. Funny as it seems this was the first time we had ever ate at a buffet in our lives.
When we pulled into the Bible Methodist Navajo Mission at mile marker 9, Hwy 249, it was dusk, with the sky beautifully setting in the west.
This would be our home for the first year of mission work among our Navajo People. The things we learned this first year, definitely had an impact on the rest of our 24 years.
There was a lot of work to do yet on the mobile home we would be living in. This would be the 1st of 3 mobile homes we would live in, and we still do today.
We hit the ground running, preaching in the morning service on Sunday morning, less that 48 hours from arriving on the field. We never dreamed that our mission work would grow until there was a period of a couple years we spoke 11 times a week. Whew! Those were the days.
Well we arrived, so we will stop our day to day journey to get here, but will try to post random memories, and even current events.
May God be Praised for all His help, during these past 25 years. -
