Kittens, editing and people on motorcycles


Ma cher famille et mes amis
Three of our investigators committed to baptism this week! We still have a lot of work to do for them, but we are very excited for them. Its probably been interesting for that family this week, because their cat died right after having four kittens, which they have to feed at all hours and they are now committed to baptism.  Also this week, we did like 18 hours of service ( which included weeding, ironing, washing dishes, taping boxes, vaccuming inside of cupboards, killing spiders, wiping windows, throwing away stuff, editing autobiographies, sorting gardening supplies, vaccuming cat hair off of clothes, rolling sleeping bags, eating cookies and large amounts of pizza, carrying boxes, sorting clothing by size,raking soil, rolling rugs, listening to stories, etc.), We had an awesome Zone Conference, we had an exchange with the sister-training-leaders and had a huge and delicous italien dinner. The highlights of this week were definitely exchanges and zone conference. During Zone conference, we had an awesome lunch and awesome lessons and I got an interveiw with president. The interveiw was so great, I haven't had one since I first came in and it was nice to see how aware President Roney is of each missionary and that he knows the situations he sends them into. He and Sister Roney are great, especially since there are so many missionaries to keep track of now. And then exchanges were great too because my temporary companion was a italian girl who is on her last transfer. She is mission famous for contacting anything and everything. On our exchange, she contacted like five people on motorcycles from the other side of our car window and she would flag down cars to talk to them. It would be really creepy, if she didn't do it in such a loving manner. She would start a contact, and the person will be practically running away from us, and next thing you know, the other person is crying and asking us to come over and share with her the gospel. She is great. :) There is so much I want to work on to be a better missionary now. I gotta go, I love you all. Dieu vous aime!
Love,
Soeur Russell
