Here is the latest email from Elder Campbell. I absolutely HATE it, did I say HATE it when I get emails saying there has been a bike accident!! No worries though...He is fine!

Hey family, Hows it goin? We had a good week this week. Did a lot of tracting. Zone Conference was in cottonwood and sister beck gave a really cool talk about opening up the windows of heaven. So we decided to apply it. We planned extra hard and detailed. Then we tracted alot that week. We ended up getting 4 new investigators. One of them happens to be our neighbor. His name is Oz. We were walking back from tracting and i needed to use the bathroom so we went to Bushmaster park. On our way out this guy called us over and it was Oz we got to talking and he has been looking for a church and been making lots of changes in his life. He thought it was cool that we were missionaries he always just thought we were office workers. So we have an appt. For tommorow. I got in a bike wreck last night. Ran into a iron fence and dislocated my shoulder and bruised all the knuckles on my hands but im ok! my bike wheel in the front however....oh well. Learned how to make frybread! you take 2 cups of flour 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspooons of baking powder and mix that together. Than you take really really warm water and you make a hole in your dry mix and pour the water in that hole till its at the top. then you mix together the dough by hand kneading it carefully! and then you take the dough off a little bit and flatten it out like pizza but smaller. Then in a deep skillet you fry it in the crisco that looks like whipped cream!

It has been a bit since I have posted- it has been busy around the Campbell house! We just got back from Chelan for the first time without Ty. It was really weird..Didn't hear "hey mom, I am going to go snake hunting!" at all this time. Didn't feel the same- now that both the boys are off doing things it was just Maddi left. She brought her friend Beth so she didn't have to deal with Mom and Dad the whole time! We did get to hear from Elder Campbell twice this last week because of the 4th of July!! He said they have three baptisms coming up on July 18th. One investigator, and two children of record. He also said he is learning Navajo. He can't read it yet, but is learning to talk in it. He also has his tags now in Navajo too. He is really enjoying the challenge of learning the Navajo language. It is EXTREMELY hard, but his is determined to master it!! He said that they do a lot of service projects and that there are a lot of inactivie families in his area, but they do get fed dinner every night. Thank goodness for that! He is still with his trainer Elder Flory and having a great time.
