This week our neighbors have been on a mission trip and we have been getting their mail for them.  They just got home tonight and the husband came over to get their mail.  I asked how the mission trip was and he began to tell us all the amazing stories of children and a man accepting Christ.  He said they went to the Navajo Nation and I just nodded and continued listening.  While he’s talking my brain is going crazy trying to figure out where in the world is the Navajo Nation.   Here are all the thoughts that were going through my head:

-Is that in Mexico?
-I can’t ask that what if it’s in Europe?
-I’ll ask how long of a drive it was.
-I can’t ask that either, what if you can only get there by air or sea!
-Bill knows where it is, he always knows!
-If only I knew which continent it was on!

So we finished talking with my neighbor (which by the way we have GREAT neighbors. . .just a side note and no they don’t read this) and Bill went back to work (he works from home) and I ran to my computer.  Of course I immediately Googled “Where is the Navajo Nation.”  Can I just say I love Google.  I Google everything I don’t know about and learn so much (salad spinners, Navajo Nations, how many calories in a cherry, etc.).  So I was amazed to find out it was in the United States yet they have their own government.  I’m still boggled by this but whatever.  So, I went back to Bill at his computer and ripped his headphones off (he wears them while working so he doesn’t have to hear all of our noise) and said, “You mean to tell me these people live in America and have their own government.”  He hates it when I don’t know history (which I’m pretty sure this was not taught in my town) and said I had to be kidding him.  I told him, “Look, I’m 30 years old and this is the first I’ve heard of these people.  Why isn’t anyone else taking a mission trip there?”  He said they were but it sounds like (from what my neighbor said) it is a very unreached group of people.

The point of this post is to say we should definitely be praying for this nation that I didn’t even know existed and do whatever we can to tell them about Jesus.  My second point is to see if I’m really that big of an idiot.  Did everyone else know about this but me?  If you didn’t know either can you please let me know.  Otherwise I’m going to have to call the Texas Education Agency becuase I think my high school diploma might be invalid!
