Hello Everyone,

So it was a great week!  We had a MLC ( missionary leadership council) on tuesday!  It went really good!  We all felt the spirit so strongly as we counciled together on how to make the mission stronger!  One thing we have really been focusing on is the book of mormon and how much power and evidence it really is!  We challenge everyone we come in contact with to read the book of mormon and we promise them the blessings that will come from it!  I was able to see Elder Fonnesbeck at the MLC it was really good to be able to talk to him!  We talked all about Lukachukai and how the people there are doing!  This past week me and Elder Livermont were out tracting and we knocked on a house a guy answered and didnt look to happy that we were there!  Well just trying to spark a conversation i asked him "how long have you lived here?"  He then told me somehting that put a smile on my face when he said "well i just recently moved here from Idaho!  We both looked at each other and looked back at him and both said immediately WHERE????  haha He said Blackfoot it was cool to sit and talk to him!  He told me about how he grew up in Groveland and was actually baptized into our church he talked about who baptized him and it was then that it blem my mind I knew the person who baptized him!  Anyway this guy has an awesome family who we are now beginning to teach!  Its amazing how the lord will send you to the people who are prepared and who will accept your message!  I think the only reason we got in that door is because we are both from idaho!  It was an awesome experience!  Our area is really down right now we are doing our best to help build it back up!  Knocking on a million doors haha

Its been great i love you guys take care and have a great week!

Love Elder Rushton
