The Navajo Nation by Shawn in Arizona
For two days we have been the special guests of a Navajo family on the Arizona resevation. The Navajo are the largest Native American population in the US. Their reservation crosses into 4 states.
We served for 2 days. The church was given a grant of 2000 dollars that was used for a wide variety of projects to families who desperatly needed help. We cleaned, built steps, hung drywall, built a fence and there were enough supplies left over for many more projects. This is 3rd world living conditions. No electricity or running water. The heat would hit 100 in the day and the 50's at night. This is a world of extremes.
We are quickly realizing that we are the learners- guests of an open people who have much to teach us.
