This week wasn't too full of sweet experiences or anything wild. I will just start listing a few of the events most pertinent:
I.
and M. went on a big vacation throughout the weekend and we
weren't able to contact them at all. I was a little worried they were
going to have an excuse not to go to church but there they were, walking
into church at 9:00 AM :) It made me really happy and excited for them.
This week we are going to get I. her temple recommend and go with
her and M. (her son) to the temple to do baptisms for the dead!
Hopefully all goes well!
I went on divisions
this week with Elder Mendez. We had a sweet experience while teaching a
less-active woman and her husband. We taught about eternal families when
he mentioned his desire to get remarried because he and his wife had a
bad experience. We began to teach them about the sealing power and how
it was restored by Joseph Smith and how temples had the special purpose
of helping us make covenants through the priesthood. Anyways, we invited
him to prepare for baptism and he accepted. Hopefully they can prepare
and he can get baptized in a few months!
Haha,
now that I think of it, not much happened. We cooked a lot this week,
lots of really random stuff. I'll send some photos next week!!
Anyways, it there's any questions, I'll respond to them next week!
Elder Bushman
"Prepare now to go on a mission. It will not be
a burden. It will not be a waste of time. It will be a great
opportunity and a great challenge. It will do something for you that
nothing else will do for you. It will sharpen your skills. It will
train you in leadership. It will bring testimony and conviction into
your heart. You will bless the lives of others as you bless your own. It
will bring you nearer to God and to His Divine Son as you bear witness
and testimony of Him. Your knowledge of the gospel will strengthen and
deepen. Your love for your fellowman will increase. Your fears will fade
as you stand boldly in testimony of the truth." - Gordon B. Hinckley
