I just love Texas! The people here are so amazing. Its gotten to a point where the people are actually saying hi to us. The missionaries. People are beginning to see that we ain't all that bad. I love the people that we are teaching right now. One of them is being a little difficult because he is a 7th day Adventist and so he gets really held up on the fact that we worship on Sundays. He is the cutest old man. He will read all the literature against Mormons but not the BoM so we are working on him with that and helping him realize that you can just study about it. You gotta study IT as well. I think he is getting the message that we are trying to share. I kinda was getting frustrated with him when i thought that we just need to show him our love. We told him that he can only come to know that these things are true for Himself. And by doing that you just have to ask a simple question to God and he will answer you. He says that he prays about it but has never gotten an answer that it isn't true. So soon it will hit him. jajaja So please pray for him.
We are teaching at a place called High Frontier thatI I might have already talked about but it is so awesome! My companion and I just love teaching the kids there because they have so many questions! At first we were only teaching a couple of kids now it's three and it will continue to grow i just know it! It's amazing that we even have that many because everyone there has some pretty skewed views. Even the teachers that teach there. But we are building great relationships and that is how we got two new kids in the class because they saw our example. I just love it. The kids are so open and are willing to learn more about the true restored Gospel. Well Alpine is doing good here in Texas.
We get to bike a lot and eat a lot as well. All the missionaries in our mission are jealous because we get fed so well here in Alpine. A little too well. Hahaha our members are just so awesome:) I hope everything is going well where ya'll are.
I love ya'll! Les amo muchisimo!
Con amor, Hermana Russell
