The entire experience of going with the guys to Bylas, Arizona was really positive. First, an overview. We left early Saturday morning and drove the entire 975 miles in one long day. Sunday morning we went to morning services at the church we were helping. After lunch, I don't know what the other guys did, because I took my Sunday afternoon prayer nap. We went to Sunday evening service and were in bed early because there was no television, no computers with internet, and no where to go. Town was 30 miles away, so we did our own cooking.
Monday through Wednesday our guys worked hanging doors, trimming doors, caulking and painting doors, building shelves, tearing down an old sound booth, and generally being helpful. The church rewarded us on Tuesday night by making us real Indian tacos with fresh fry bread. It was incredible.
Thursday morning we left Bylas and went through Holbrook, AZ to see the church we worked with last year. We were disappointed that no one was there and we didn't get to go inside, but it was cool to see how nice it looked. Then we headed for Canyon de Chelly in northeast AZ for some sightseeing and rock climbing. We made it to Grants NM that night. Early Friday morning we hit I-40 and drove relentlessly, arriving back in OKC at 5:30, tired of the inside of the van, but glad we went.
More tomorrow.
