Queso in the Wool

We spent this morning at church at Good Shepherd Mission. It was beautiful to hear the people singing in their Dine language.

Afterwards we took lunch at the mission with the church members and then our group split up. Part went to hike canyon De Chelly and a small group went to meet Dr. Ruby, a Hope veterinarian on the Navajo Rez who was participating in a traditional ride. She has a wagon (pulled by two gorgeous horses named 'Fred' and 'Wagon Wrecker') and several people in her group on horseback who all rode into Window Rock for the camp meeting. A handful of us stayed back at the mission to clean and keep and eye on dinner and spend some time resting. It was storming pretty bad at the mission so I was a little worried about going hiking in the canyon so I stayed back and spent the afternoon on the porch felting Queso. I thought it would be appropriate to wait and work on him in Az, which is where I met his owner the first time I went on this mission trip. Arizona is beautiful country and gave a great backdrop to my time working. And here he is, finally finished:






I took a little walk over to the church and took some pictures with the bell and mission house in the background as well.
