Hello Family!! It was so good to talk to you guys on Christmas! Haha.. That was CRAZY to hear all the little kids all grown up! Haha..
We had such a fun P-Day yesterday.. Ha the library was closed so we couldn't email, but we played Ultimate Frisbee with 3 families in the Ward here and it was a blast!! I love this new area.. Some of the nicest people ever and i already have so many new friends!
Our investigator is doing really well! We have a baptismal date of Jan 14th, so that will be a special day for her. Her wedding is on Saturday and they've asked us to help out with that so that should be fun too! Hah.
Anyways.. I know i talked to you a lot on the phone but i have a few experiences that i TOTALLY forgot to tell you about!
We were on ex-changes with the assistants in Des Moines and the coolest thing ever happened! We were knocking doors in a apartment building and we came to this guys door and we began to talk to him about the Gospel.. He began to explain to us how he and 3 other friends had just been in a car accident about 2 weeks ago. He was driving, and he and 2 friends walked away spotless, but one of their friends was killed. He has had a really hard time dealing with this and has been very depressed.. We read in alma Ch 40 with him and all he could say was i am beginning to feel happy! I am beginning to feel happy again! We were all in tears, and it was a wonderful experience. It made me especially grateful for the Book of Mormon.
I love being a missionary! Its the best.. Sorry this letter is pretty weak.. Next week will be better!
Thank you Grandma Russell for the card and book!! :)
And thanks everyone else who sent me stuff for Christmas!
Love Elder Russell
