Well, the big news of the week is that I received a call from President Wright on Friday
night saying I was heading to a new sector and receiving a new
companion. I'm now in the ward La Florida 3, stake La Florida. :) I'm
really excited! My companion is Elder Muzante, from Peru. He is 25 years
old, he has 5 months in the mission, and I'm his second companion. This
zone is really awesome, I'm in the same zone with Elder Rice and Elder
Holsclaw (two of the guys from my MTC group! I'm also with Elder Wilson,
Elder Gowdy, Elder Skousen, Elder Vorwaller, and others. Just REALLY
great missionaries :) I feel as though it will be a powerhouse zone
these next few changes! :D
This last week was a pretty good week. We had a lot
of lessons with members, we really stepped it up with working with the
bishop and our ward mission leader. Haha, it was really funny, in
sacrament meeting, the second counselor said, "Well now we are going to
give a little time to Elder Bushman to bare his testimony since he will
be finishing his mission." I got up there and said, "I hope nobody goes
to the temple because I'm not going to be there." I was trying to say in
a funny way that I was not going home... But after the meeting, more
than 10 people ran up to me and said, "Oh my gosh, I cannot believe you
are leaving, how did you mission end so fast?" Etc. etc.! Haha, I had
to tell them that I was not going home but just to another sector! :)
Hahaha!
We used the "Because of Him" video a lot this week
to teach about the Resurrection. We taught the M. family the Plan of Salvation using the video and the
pamphlet. They understood it completely and it was awesome! We also
shared it with a completo shop owner and he really loved it, saying he
was going to check out mormon.org and stuff.
Anyways, there isn't much else to report on account
that I am in a new sector, without photos, and I haven't even hit the
sector yet. But, things are great, I am excited, and we'll see you next
week! Take care, love you all!
Elder Bushman
"Sharing the gospel brings eternal rewards.
That is the spirit of the gospel of Jesus Christ, to labor without a
salary, to labor without the comforts that we sometimes have at home,
but to labor for the salvation of the human family, to bring our
Father's other children to a knowledge of the truth." - George Albert
Smith
