Mom, Dad, and Family,
There will be no turkey bowls for me this Thursday. It was really funny in Elders quorum because they discussed the turkey bowl and set it up before the lesson. They then invited the missionaries. We told them that our Mission President was not a fan and would prefer we wouldn't. The room got fairly loud with excuses, which I found rather humorous because President Hobbs wasn't even near the room. :P But anyway, I will not be playing football on Thursday so Dad and Taylor must. Or else.
Thanks for all your emails and love and support. I feel it out here on the mission. It means a lot to be able to email people and have them email back. Thank you.
Starting this week, the church just released a new initiative that I am SO stoked for called "He Is The Gift" is starts Friday the day after Thanksgiving and goes all the way through January 1st. If you remember back in Easter they released the video "Because of Him" it's very similar. But it's bigger and awesomer.
This past week was awesome and Elder Mitchell and I had a lot of fun. We had a lesson with the Chacons and they were super open about their concerns. Missionaries love that kind of stuff because then we have something to work. But they committed to read from the Book of Mormon and pray about it. The are an awesome family. We love them a lot.
The Gomez and Roger are not doing so good on progressing though. Please pray for them. They're awesome and we love them a ton, but please pray for them.
I was reading in Mormon today and Mormon 9 is such a great chapter on the Plan of Salvation. It's cool to have so many good chapters on the Plan of Salvation in the Book of Mormon but I had never really noticed Mormon 9. Great chapter. It makes total sense of the Three Kingdom.
Anyway, I gots to get goin'. Thanks so much for all you do. Don't forget to read your scriptures. Don't forget to say your prayers. And don't forget to look Up!
ILYMTLI,
Elder Russell
