Greetings from Rock Point!
What a wonderful and inspiring trip this has been so far! I am honored to be here serving the Navajo people,
who have been so warm and kind. I am
helping with the Adult Ministry group – yesterday we had 17 ladies (and 1 man)
show up and today there were 22 ladies! Each day we begin with a Scripture reading
and a prayer, followed by crafts, snacking, and chatting. It may not sound so inspirational, but I know
the Holy Spirit is with us in our room.
There are two special ladies that I have grown very fond of: Antuane and
Laprensa. They are both in their mid-20’s
and they met in school in Special Ed class.
I call them my “giggle sisters” because they make jokes and laugh the
entire time we are working together. J I cannot fully express to you how much joy I
have received working with these two precious, lovely children of God. I have learned much from these young ladies: living in the moment, appreciation for small
acts of kindness, how good a big hug feels, having fun, and how important it is
to just sit and talk to each other. I am
truly grateful and humbled by my experience on the Navajo Lutheran Mission campus
and look forward to future trips. In
Christ’s love,
Drue Anderson
