We had an wonderful long trip home for Christmas. We had a lot of quality time with friends and family and my 2 month old niece.
We all know what happens in January. We make a bunch of New Year’s resolutions. Some of them we follow through on and most of them are long forgotten by February. No matter how you look at it, the New Year does feel like a fresh start and a whole new set of opportunities. I definitely feel that way about the Church here in Kayenta.
In this coming year, we hope to do some new and exciting things in the church, especially because we have a new team-mate, Dan Keele. Dan just graduated from preaching school in December and he is on fire to preach the Word of God to anyone who will listen. Let me take a moment to explain how well our team is balanced. Dan’s greatest strength is talking to people and evangelizing. Nick’s greatest strengths are preparing lessons and improving the organization of the church. I love to do paperwork and anything administratively. This year we will be starting Teen events again and Nick will be teaching a teen class. Dan plans on doing a lot of evangelism at places like the flea market. At the end of 2011, we moved a trailer onto the church property for Dan to live in. This year, we will have a lot of work projects to do on this trailer. We already had a couple guys come to assess the repairs and plan a trip out this summer. We also want to try a new event called “fifth quarter.” After a high school basketball game, we invite everyone to the building for pancakes and a devotional.
By the way, one of my New Year’s resolutions is to blog more about the work, so stay tuned!!!
