Hello Everyone,

So this week went by super fast!  It was crazy!  last pday it was fun we went out to a place called Clear Creek and we did some hiking there is a canyon with a bunch of water in it out there so that was pretty cool to look at!  We had a rough time as well this week.  We had some investigators that were all ready to be baptized on November 1st and everything was going as planned.  They had told us that the church was true several times and they told us that Joseph Smith was a Prophet as well! So we had one last lesson to teach them, the Word of Wisdom well they refused to live the Word of Wisdom they ended up kicking us out of the house that night and now they won't answer our calls or answer the door anymore when we go there!  It is just crazy to think that just because of one thing, it can blow up your whole testimony and now all of the sudden the church isn't true anymore!  That is the one thing I just don't understand about the world we live in today!  I think I heard Elder Holland say this but he said "We live in a world today where God is created in the image of man, rather then men created in the image of God!" Its sad!  I wish people could understand that Gods laws never change!  As much as we may want them too they never do!  I have seen that time and time again throughout my mission, where people just won't accept the gospel because they don't agree with a commandment!  Gods commandments never change!  Anyway I'm super excited for this next transfer and the opportunity I have to stay in Winslow!  We have some awesome things that are happening here!  I am also super excited I found out this week that I get to be companions with my old high school buddy Elder Marcus Yazzie.  I can't wait! It definately will be a good time!  Anyway not much to write about this week but I hope you all have a great week and take care!

Love Elder Rushton
