The Best Two Years!

Well, today I start the beginning of my last change on the mission. It'll be 7 weeks instead of 6 and it'll be great! I'm super happy and content with all that's happening and I'm just focused on baptizing. Our mission baptized 26 last weekend which is a lot, and we're all aiming for the goal of 100 baptisms in one month, every month! (We had 40 this last month, the most was 76.)

Truly all that matters in life is that we live the gospel of Jesus Christ and help others to live it as well. The world is a big place and Satan is always working hard to trip us. Just like this photo all we can do is pick up and carry on. And that's only possible by living the gospel of Jesus Christ. It's amazing and this is His church. I know that because the Book of Mormon is true.

Love y'all a ton and wish you a great week!

Love,

Happy Days!

Happy days!

Things are going very well, and once again, this transfer is almost over, just 2 more weeks, and then my last transfer, crazy how time flies. But, I’m enjoying the mission a lot and I’m still learning new things that’ll help me for the rest of my life. The mission just prepares you so much.

This past week I was able to notice a little more potential from the investigators we have that we are teaching. They’re a little slow in accepting commitments, but we’re working with them so they can at least come to church. We’re excited to help them progress along.

We were lucky to see President Monson’s funeral live. I really liked the talks they gave, and I fully support all the church leaders. I especially loved to see the quorum of the 12 with President Eyring and Uchtdorf all standing together when President Monson left the conference center at the end. He was a great man, very good leader. I know this is the Church of Jesus Christ.

Love,

New Year!!!

When the time goes fast, all we can do is what really matters most. Honestly the time is moving really quickly, but I'm enjoying it all. We're helping the mission out a lot, but we're a little worried about our area. We have about 15 investigators we're teaching, but none are really progressing well. But we're focused on that, and a miracle will come to pass.

Our mission president is inviting all of us to read the Book of Mormon in Spanish in 3 months, marking it in 4 different colors of crayons that have to do with Jesus Christ. If I want to finish it before I come back home, which I do, I have to read 18 pages a day! I'll get it done.

The mission is so wonderful, and I feel content and happy, life is great!

Love,

Elder Russon

 

Happy New Year!

Hey, Happy New Year!!! I hope you all enjoyed the holidays. This week we found a few new investigators, some of them are old investigators that we're almost ready to be baptized this last year in April. So we're hoping that we can baptize them soon because of these their time now.  Honestly right now we don't have much time to write very much, but the week went by really fast and was really fun. There's lots of work to do and right now we're just planning and hoping and praying for finding investigators to be able to have someone to baptize here soon.  Love you guys million and hope you can work on accomplishing  your New Year's resolutions - Happy New Year!
