Butchering

We had been planning to butcher a sheep & a goat with the Nakai Family to celebrate all the December birthdays for both of our families.  However, with a pending funeral coming up on Friday; all of those plans were changed.  We still butchered this morning, but instead of having a large birthday party, most of the meat is being used to make stew for the funeral.  Please continue to pray for the Nakai Family to experience God's peace & power in their lives in the midst of such heartache.


 Craig's favorite part is the head meat.  Navajos prepare the head meat by first throwing the head into the fire for a few minutes to burn off the hair.  Then they cook it in the oven.  There's not much meat on the head of a sheep, but they do tell me it is very tasty and good!

 Grilled onions and garlic add extra flavor to a mutton sandwich!

 Geno grilling meat while Vernon Jr looks on.

 Enjoying the rewards of butchering!
