Yá'át'ééh sk'ish. Hatish banenah? Do banah shahada'.
That's Navajo for "Hello my brothers. What are you doing? I am doing nothing." The reason I say what are you doing instead of how are you doing, is because there is no question for how are you only how is your health and then a Navajo will tell you about everyone in their family. Therefore Navajos don't even ask each other how is your health.This past weekend was the American Indian Missions workshop which was held in Colorado Springs this year by the Pikes Peak church of Christ. The four Navajo Preachers on the Rez spoke to us. So did two of the Anglo preachers one of those being my coordinator Ray Whaley. The other being from Kayenta, AZ. It was very good and I learned quite a bit about evangelism on the Rez.
We have started Navajo classes with our coordinator and they are going pretty good. We have to talk to at least one person in Navajo everyday to help improve speaking it.
That's all for now.
