Week 68

Hello!! Thats pretty crazy about the fires..! I hope all is good!

Hope you all had a good 4th of July!

And those stories of Zander and the kids crack me up.. I'm always laughing and everybody else in the Library is looking at me like i'm crazy.. Oh well! I miss my little buddies! :) Give them all a big hug from their favorite uncle!!

 

This past week was EPIC.. Oh man.. And this week is going to be too! We're so busy its not even funny...

 

So first thing.. Ross went to the temple and it was the greatest. He loved every second of it. He learned SO much and he was at a loss for words when we were sitting in the Celestial Room. Spirit was SO strong. I learned a valuable lesson too.. Its going to be hard to describe it on email tho.. Haha!

About 8 months ago.. I thought that there was no way that Ross would have been able to make it to the temple.. I assumed that it waasn't going to happen while I was on my mission. In a way.. I put a limit on what Ross could do and what he could accomplish. The valuable lesson that I learned is that there is no limits with God. ANYTHING is possible.. There are so many times where we set limits on ourselves and say things like "oh that will never happen" or "I could never do that." And the only reason that thats true is because you say it is! I learned this week that anything is possible with God. SO COOL! So don't set limitations.. Haha they are no good. And they keep us from reaching our full potential!

 

Second.. Thank you Mom for the card!! Its always a good day when you get mail.. Hah! :)

 

Third.. This week we get to work the Nauvoo Pageant 3 days! I'm super excited.. Its kind of crazy tho because that takes us out of our area for 3 nights a week... But its ok the Lord has provided and all of our friends who we're teaching can still meet on other nights. So we're gooood!

 

Fourth.. I've got poison ivy like crazy all over my legs.. It sucks.. Haha its ok tho. We have like 89 doctors in the Ward here in Quincy.. Haha ok probably not 89... But we have a ton.. And they are helpin me out! Ha!

 

Fifth.. I LOVE YOU ALL!  So much.. Thanks for the emails Mom and Dad! :) It scares me how fast time flies.. Man.. Mission life is good.. Anyways.. I gotta go!

 

LOVE,ELDER RUSSELL
