Something sweet for Elder Russo's momma 11/20/12

Dear Mother,
 
Happy Birthday!!!!
 
Ive decided that because i am too far away, and that im broke, and that the best presents are the ones from the heart so i just want to say thank you.
 
thank you for everything that you have done for me in my life, thank you for your nice and kind love that you have shown towards me my whole life, constantly loveing me when i mess up, always protecting me from the evils of the world, and from chores from dad :). Thank you for teaching me how to be a son of God, thank you for teaching me how to walk in the light, even though i have made mistakes in my life you were there of course with dad but you were there and you helped me get over my problems and forget about them and become a better person, thanks to you and the things you have taught me i have been prepared very well for my journey in life until this moment, i was reading my Patriarchal blessing telling me that Heavenly father sent me to you and dad for a reason, and boy how grateful i am to the Opportunity i have to be your son!! Mom you have and will have an everlasting effect on me for the rest of my life, im proud to be called a momma's boy, because like the 2000 stripling warriors, they were taught by there righteous mothers and they were protected because of their mothers, I love you mom and you are the best Mother in the world, the most knd, the most loving, the most understanding, the most funny, the strongest, and Im counting my blessing and mom you are deffinatly the best one :)
 
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM AND I HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD ONE!!

Couple of little updates with Elder Russo's Mission 10/23/12

Here a couple of little notes from Elder Russo..sorry I am a little late with updating his blog....Elder Russo has been moving a lot this past couple months...he just moved again this last weekend to Vitrolles, France....small town south of France, not much there......silly boy has almost given away all of his clothing to someone in need.I guess he toked after his mom in this department.
Hey Mom!!!
I don't know why I'm not in the latest one, i think we were supposed to send pictures but i never knew where to send them, and yeah i moved again!! I'm kinda sad that i left Montpelier so quickly, its an awesome city and now im in this small city again, or better yet HUGE with small transport! but i will have fun here, we have a really nice apartment, no food though lol I'm waiting for money to go back into my mission account so we have to duke it our for a few days....
Im doing overall, noting really new happening, we met a lot of people and engaged someone to baptism the last week i was there, so for the moment i have nothing to update about here, Vitrolles, but hopefully soon i will have something!!
Ha ha poor Gabi, how did she overdose on cup cakes lol?? that doesn't make any sense, but poor thing, i hope it was too bad for her, or you lol, and how was that movie, i see the posters and stuff everywhere here in France.
And tell Gabi i say hi too!! i miss her!and thank you for all the picture lol i enjoyed them, i will have to send you pictures, but sadly i forgot to bring the camera card with me!! ha ha well i love you, emails are short today cause we got work to do but i love you so much and ill talk to you next week!!!
Love Elder Russo

 

 Hey mom!!

Yes i had another great week, mostly because of general conference! I loved watching it, its so inspiring and helpful for me! and yeah i heard about the 18 and 19 year old rules, i think its great, lets hope they are mature and ready to go on a mission, because the missionaries here, mostly the sisters, are very very immature, they talked the whole conference and i was not happy, i had to ask them to be quite many times, the older in the mission i get and in life, the more i realize that as said in the bible, there is a time for all things, and man was it not the time to talk!lol but still the spirit was strong and i highly appreciated it! i woke up at 6 this morning to go to the church to be able to watch the Sunday afternoon conference, because we didn't get to watch it Sunday because it started at ten o clock, i think my favorite talk was Jeffry R Holland, on Sunday morning session, it was amazing!! i hope you all stayed awake lol!! i can just picture you all passed out during conference!!i wont lie i was very very sleepy when i was watching the priesthood part, mainly because it was in french, and the translation is very boring, no excitement in there voices, kinda sad that not everyone speaks English!
I do have one favor!! So i bought a suite jacket today for 50% percent off and i need to get the Pants to match, they are only 30 euros!! can you put money in my account before this wed so i can go buy them, they are on reserve for me! i thought i had enough but i went ice skating and then i finally received my garments in the mail so i have no0 money, and i just checked it no mom and im sorry but I'm in the red too, i forgot that when i get money out it charges me fees :/ well its up to you if you want to do it,i really need a new suit, i gave one away to a member in Albi who's pants were so ripped up and he was the one who worked for his family and was going to leave on mission so i gave it to him as a present, and my other suit has a huge rip in the butt lol (when i was cooking pizza ha ha) so I'm in need of a suit :) thank you mom for helping me and i hope you aren't mad at me!!

Well that's about it for me this week, it was really good, and really rough at the same time, a lot of trials this week, we have been harassed a lot lately and its taking a tole on me and elder call, hopefully we will be able to overcome this or avoid it!!

Well mom i love you so much, i cant wait till i get back and get all your neck kisses, surprisingly i miss them a little, ive never realized the importance of family so much till my mission, and on Sunday they talked about it too, you and dad did a great job for me and i am forever grateful for the environment that my heavenly Father put me in, he knew that you would do everything that is needed to teach me!and you did!! i love yo u so much and i hope you have a great week!! 

Love Elder Randy Russo ha ha!
