Flagstaff & Sedona

Today we visited our friends, Dan & Beth Taggart, who serve with Flagstaff Mission to the Navajos (FMN) sharing the gospel and trying to meet the physical needs on a reservation of 250,000 native people! They have 8 churches with their headquarters mission right in Flagstaff. We got the unique priveledge to see the Grand Falls at it's peak time of year! Dan & Beth drove us out to a very remote area that I would never be able to find again (we all went in their truck). The falls were huge! We could not get it all in one picture even with a wide angle lens! The water looks like chocolate milk because of the dirt, but it is beautiful - there are no roads in to see the falls, so very few tourists get to see this sight. Thankfully we had our own personal tour guides!
The next day we all went to see Sedona together...it's a cool little town surrounded by amazing red rock formations, but the new age influence in the area is very prevelant. You don't have to go very far to find a mystic, palm reader, or crystals (whatever those are for?!?)

Thank you for sending me the Grand Canyon postcard, Lydia! I also enjoyed visiting your Mom's blog and reading about and seeing the pictures from your vacation to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas. Mrs. Greenway, Ms. Weiss, Mrs. Grandon and I also went to Las Vegas right after school was out in June. We had fun, too. I hope you and your family are having a wonderful summer. Please keep in touch. I miss you!
Love,
Mrs. Uchida
