    Merry Christmas From the High

    Desert!

    Praying the Lord Blesses you all in the


    New Year

    Our New Home

    Well our new life as full time missionaries has begun. But not without some
    surprises. As you know, the sale of our home in Methuen went well and it now

    belongs to a wonderful Christian lady. As we told you in our last newsletter we


    did not move to Jamestown as we thought but to a sub division called Indian Hills
    in Gallup. We moved into our new home at the end of September. There was
    some painting that needed to be done along with the unpacking and a few other
    small remolding projects to make this our home. Our real estate agents 2 sons
    helped us unpack and during this time I (Chet) was able to witness to them. Chet
    has also been witnessing to the young Navajo man, Michael who lives next door.
    We were also asked by our director to represent AIMI at a local missions
    conference. It was a great opportunity to meet other local missionaries. I (Chet)
    was asked to join a group of Pastors who get together every Tuesday to pray for
    each other and for the city of Gallup. This has been a true blessing.
    The director of AIMI told us to take the first month to settle in. (love my new
    boss!) as I (Chet) write this we are mostly settled in but there are still things to do
    (that never ends). I have been able to do some maintenance and repair work on
    the Dusty Pines camp. My latest project has been building a custom door for the
    Hogun.
    In Sanders Arizona at the church plant we are helping with, I (Chet) have been
    charged with giving the Sunday morning messages. We have been trying to build
    relationships with some of the people we have met in that community, but the
    100 mile round trip doesn't help with this. But, in Sanders the home repair
    outreach is starting to get rolling. On the home of Nancy Roanhorse, (a member
    of our church) I was able to repair the entry doors and remodel an entry door
    jamb that was cut into a large log with a chainsaw, along with repairing/remolding
    a two story window group to keep the weather. Another family on the reservation,
    the Quintana's had a leaky roof and no covering on the gable ends of the house.
    I was able to witness to Mrs Quintana and one of her sons, Benson Jr, as I
    showed him how to make these repairs. Tobie Kieser another AIMI missionary
    and who's home we have our church service in, introduced us to another Navajo
    couple, Samuel and Jen. And Chet was able to spend some time working with
    Samuel building some feed troughs for Tobie's horses

    The Quintana's Home

    We also met a couple who lives in Jamestown who are very interested in having
    us come out there to start a bible study. There are no churches or bible studies at
    this time in Jamestown. So we have been trying to locate some place to hold a
    study. Cindy and I are taking two classes with the Evangelical Training
    Association (E.T.A.). We meet once a week for 2 one hour
    classes. This is a certificate program and good training.
    Prayer Requests:
    For our finances
    We find a place to meet and hold the study in Jamestown
    That the Lord uses us in a powerful way for His glory
    For our next door neighbor Michael
    For the couple in Jamestown; Gerald and Jonni
    For the Quintana family
    Opportunities to witness as we meet new people
    Ministry Needs:
    Chet needs to build a work shop for the home repair outreach, and the time to
    build it.
    Money for the concrete and other supplies to build the shop.
    some Help so the stubborn old man doesn't break his back!
    The camp could use a good wood chipper.

    Navajo Culture
    I was always taught that a firm hand shake when meeting or greeting someone is
    a sign of respect! With traditional Navajos, this is and offensive to them. They
    feel that your trying to intimidate or show dominance over them. A proper hand
    shake when meeting a traditional Navajo is a"dead fish" wiping hand shake. A
    firm hand shake must be earned!
