Hello everyone,

So it was pretty much just another week in Aztec!  We had a really fun pday on Monday we went to Mesa Verde national park!  That was very cool It was hard to believe that me and my family were there about two years ago!  I remember leaving that place and thinking I would never come back man was I wrong!  

So the week went well we found 2 new investigators a man and his girlfriend!  Its kind of a cool story we were driving around one of the trailer parks and this guy comes running up to us and asks if we have something that could help him in his life?  haha uh yes sir that's exactly what we have :)  So we set up an appointment with him and we taught him and his wife last week so it went really well they are very sincere and like a said they truly want what is best for there family they have a little 2 year old boy who is so fun to play around with!  The best part is THERE NAVAJO :) I love my Navajo's I think I will always have such a close connection with Navajo's they grew on me and now I love them so much!  

Anyway so as the week went on we had some sad things happen 2 of our investigators that were scheduled to be baptized on june 28th dropped us it was really sad to hear they texted us and told us that they didn't want to meet anymore!  We have tried to stop by and text them back but they wont answer and wont respond!  Were not really sure what happened but it just must not be there time!  Its sad when things like that happen because in our eyes they were doing so good really gaining a testimony of this gospel and all of the sudden just like that for some reason they stop!  Its very hard not to get discouraged but I just have to sit back and tell myself that there is a reason for everything and it must not be there time!  The chapter in Ecclesiastes 3 help me a lot with that situation! 

So on a positive note we had stake conference this last weekend we had a general authority Elder Falabella was there he is such a great speaker he did great!  He is from Guatemala and has an incredible story of how the missionaries knock on his dads door in Guatemala and taught him the plan of salvation just a few months after his dad lost his wife ( elder falabella's mother)  from then on once they learned families can be together forever they were converted that single doctrine was enough for him!  We have two really good investigator who were  able to make it to a special meeting that was  for the Hispanics in the community and for them being Hispanic they came!  He used to be a pastor for another church but has since started investigating our church him and his wife loved the meeting it was all in Spanish which was tough for me to understand so the Spanish elders in our zone translated and i was able to hear the whole meeting!  Anyway it was a great conference!  I gotta run but i love you all and hope you have a great week!

Love Elder Rushton
