Return Navajoland Trip W"*3
by Shirley Perrin
On Fri.:.iy morning, June 9,
thirty-one young people and ad-
ults from the First Baptist Chur-
ch of Dublin set out for a return
visit v>it!i the Navajo Indians at
Tsci A Jei Mission in Ntw Mexi
co.
Excitement was running high
because this time, in addition to
conducting Bible School and hold-
ing Revival Services, a Church
building was to be constructed.
Upon arrival, everyone was
thrilled to see that the Indians
had made preparation for our
coining by raking the entire ca-
mpsite and building an oven o’
rock and clay in which the Indian
women baked yeast bread. This
made as feel welcome and the
baking of the bread was one of
the most fascinating things we
hatkever seen. We were told that
this -bread was their "special''
bread, used mostly a* celebra-
tions such as Christmas dinner
or feasts. But as- a gesture of
love end appreciation they were
oiferlng us their very best.
Sunday morning services were
conducted In Navajo, but begin-
ning Sunday night and going
through Thursday night, Bio.
Perrin preached and Bio. Wal-
lace Costillo. the Navajo pastor,
interpreted into their language.
The Bible School started Monday
morning. The boys and girls and
men and women came eagerly
and sat on the ground under the
pinion trees to hear the Binie

Dublin Historical Society stew
supper would not have been much
of a success. Through their gen-
erous donations of potatoes, cra-
ckers, canned goods, ice and
much more, the society would
have just broken even on this so
needed drive for making money
to help open the Lyon Museum
by July 4.
A public “Thank You” to these
men: Dock Lackey, Ted and
Ben Robbins and Willard Mann
lot their wonderful help.
