The Navajo Nation is a territory defined by its vast landscapes and enchanting natural beauty.
Stretching across 27,000 square miles in sections of three states (Utah, Arizona and New Mexico), it is home to some 300,000 Navajos and Hopis.
It is also a place of rich Latter-day Saints history and activity. Two stakes (the Chinle Arizona Stake and the Tuba City Arizona Stake) and several other units from surrounding stakes operate within the Navajo Nation. Dozens of missionaries from the New Mexico Farmington Mission serve in its many wards and branches.
Many of the members are renowned for their dedication and devotion, said Elder Neil L. Andersen of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. “They are the children of Lehi and they readily embrace the Savior and the teachings of the Book of Mormon.”
