And often when a visitor did find the church it was closed, since services were irregular. The new pastor, Herman Ottschofski, was the man of the hour the Lord sent to turn things around.

Sheep were feeding outside the hogan when they arrived and three Na- vajo sisters invited them into the dark room, lit only by an oil lamp.

She had lain helplessly for two days in this mountain wilder- ness area waiting to be found. The 95-year-old sister left her 102- year-old sister unattended to search for her.
