Another Baptism and Exchanges

Hello everyone,

So this week was really good we had an awesome week of exchanges i was able to get to go with Elder Quijano here in lukachukai on wedesday, while Elder Manumaleuna was in round rock with Elder Cook! Elder Quijano was great i was able to learn a lot from him he is a newer missionary in the feild but he did great!  Then on thursday i had the opportunity to go to many farms i was with Elder Petersen while Elder Manumaleuna stayed here with Elder Sorensen I learned a lot from Elder Petersen we have been in the same district together for 5 transfers now so we know each other really well and i was able to learn a lot from him!  In district meeting we have really been trying to use the book of mormon a lot more with our finding and i have been training our district on that pretty hard lately!  I feel like there is so much power behind the book of mormon and especially out here!  I dont think anyone would turn down an opportunity to hear about Jesus Christ coming directly to there ancestors and teaching them the exact same things that we teach!  We really worked on that while we were on exchanges just doing a lot of tracting and using the book of mormon as a tool!  From the numbers i have been seeing from our district they have been working miracles we are all doing great and i am so proud!

We had the opportunity this last week to have a baptism!  What a special day that was on saturday!  The girls is 15 years old and her and her mom are so awesome!  Her mom went on the Indian Placement Program so she was baptised and became a member when she was 8!  She loved her placement family and loved the activities she did with the church while she was young!  Eventually she came back to the reservation and never went back to church!  

After we found here and were able to start teaching both her and her daughter they have been amazing they read the book of mormon together every night!  They have never missed a night!  One night the daughter was away staying at a freinds house and instead of just not reading it that night they read it together over the phone!  It is amazing the kind of people the lord prepares for you there are so many people out there who are so ready to hear this message!  That is why we have missionaries all over the world!  As long as we are listening closely to the promptings of the spirit we will find these people the lord has prepared for us!  I love you guys be safe and have a great week!

Love Elder Rushton
