August 31, 2015 First Week Of Training (Someone)!

Hola! Howdy!

Training is so much fun! I Love my little trainee so much. She is such an awesome teacher and Missionary! Her name is Hermana Wimmer and she is from New Jersey! And no, she doesn't have an accent. She hates when people ask why she doesn't. Most people actually don't have an accent from New Jersey. She is so awesome. We totally just compliment one another and I know I am meant to train her. She and I are the Missionaries of the Alpine/Marfa/Marathon/Fort Davis areas! I LOVE our areas and I never want to leave.

Did I tell ya the story about the Methodist Preacher? Well one day we were on exchanges and Sister Smith and I were heading home when we saw a guy out mowing his lawn. We stopped and got all his information and he wanted us to come back to do some service in his worm farm. Yes, Worm farm. We came back another day and helped him out with the worm farm. It was so cool! And their yard is amazing! They try to grow all their food out in the Garden and The wife has her own house for her sewing/knitting stuff. He is the Pastor of a few of the Methodist churches in the area. After we helped him they invited us to have lunch. Sister Nicholson and I were a little worried what she was cooking but then guess what. She is Gluten intolerant! What are the odds? She made the best meal ever and she gave us a bunch of recipe's. They are the sweetest couple ever. We have a really great relationship with them.

I love the people of other faiths. They are really great people they just need that full truth in their lives. We share things to help them to feel the spirit that what we share is true. This Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Truth. I am so grateful to have grown up with it in my family:) We met a couple of people this week and got to share the Plan of Salvation with one. He loved it and it made a lot of sense to him. Pray for him so that we can share more with him and the Spirit will be there to testify that it is true. I know that if he will continue to have a sincere heart in knowing, he will get it:) One of our investigators is also coming to District Conference this week with us and we are very excited. Pray that he will have a great experience:)! I love ya'll so much and remember that We are representatives of Jesus Christ. Be that example to others and they will notice. Yo se que esta es la verdad. Y Thomas s Monson es un profeta en la tierra hoy! Tenemos muchos suerte! Les amo muchisimos!

Chao and Love you ALL,

Hermana Russell
