The Best Two Years!!!

This past two years have passed incredibly fast. I can honestly say they've been the best two years of my life up to this point in my life and for that I am eternally gratefully. The mission has taught me so many things and I can see a much better course for my life had I not taken the decision to serve a mission. I'm so grateful for both the hard and fun times I've had and all the people I've come to known. Truly this is God's work and glory and we're all brothers and sisters of one big family all trying to return to God's presence.

I know with all my heart that this is Christ's church upon the earth which has been restored to the fullness through the prophet Joseph Smith. We are led by a modern prophet, Russel M Nelson, who holds all the keys of the priesthood which is God's power here on earth. Jesus Christ is the head of the church and He leads it.

I know the gospel of Jesus Christ is what helps us get back on our feet after we fall down, time after time and through it, we can help many other people as well.

I love the mission and all the experiences I've had here. Can't believe I'll be home in one week, and now I'm starting the next one! We'll see y'all soon and hope you have a wonderful week!

Love,

Elder Russon

 

 

We planned the noche blanca!

So we met with a few missionaries to plan for the noche blanca and it looks like we'll have between 22-24 baptisms that night in one chapel along with several others in different areas of the mission. I'm excited, it'll be my last weekend here. Alvaro and Silvia are preparing well for their baptism, they've already come 4 times to church and know several of the members.

We also get a lot of support from the ward and the members. It's one of the biggest and strongest wards in the mission. We also went to ward counsel the first time this week and they were very atent with us and wrote down a task list of things we asked them for help.

Things are going very well, and I'm excited to see y'all in 2 weeks! It sure has been the best 2 years of my life!

Love,

Elder Russon
