Hello Everyone,

So this past week was another week in Aztec!  :)  It has been super hot down here we have had to start keeping us hydrated we are drinking lots of water it has helped a lot!  We also decided that we need to start finding a lot better in this area we are really struggling with that and so we have started walking everywhere we go!  It has helped so much it is honestly actually kind of fun!  Not only do the members see you out working hard having fun but the people around you see you out working!  We pass so many people everywhere we go and we have just been talking to everyone!  We have gotten really good at just starting a regular conversation and from there we can see if they are interested or not just by talking to them!  So hopefully that will help us find some new people!  This past week we had the opportunity to go one exchanges with the Bloomfield 1st elders Elder Ruge and Elder Hullinger!  They are some great elders in my time here I  have seen that area work miracles they are baptizing, finding, reactivating it has been very cool too see they is so much we can learn from them!  Elder Ruge came with me to Aztec man I love that guy!  Elder Ruge could honestly be one of my best friends back home we get a long great!  We have even talked about rooming at BYU-I  back home haha who knows!  So that was fun!  Another fun thing that we decided to do this past week is it was Thursday and there was honestly nothing to do and so we were driving past the resting home here in Aztec and I said stop lets go ask if we can help them out with anything in there do a little service!  So we went in and they were playing bingo!  That was honestly so much fun to play bingo with all those old folks!  It was so funny there is this 98 year old lady and everytime she loses she cusses up a storm haha its crazy but you only just have to laugh she is one of my favorites!  So that is going to be fun we plan on going and playing bingo there every Thursday!  Other then that there isn't much going on here were just trying to fill our days full of things to do and to stay as busy as possible because that is when missionary work really begins to be fun!  I  love you guys and have a great week! 

Love Elder Rushton
