This week has been good. Elder Warner has
been transferred to Waltham. The Weston Sisters have been moved out and
Elder Warner will be training an English missionary in a half Spanish, half English area. This has never happened before, at least that I know
of. He seems to be doing ok with the change and adjustment. Hopefully he
will have success. Elder Fragoso is my new companion. He is from Utah
and knows Jessica Larson from High School. He is a super hard worker and
his parents are from Mexico. He is a fluent Spanish speaker so I will
be asking him questions about the Spanish language. I am looking forward
to this transfer. A little nervous though. In our mission, for each
Zone there are 2 Zone Leaders, with one Zone Leader as the Lead Zone
Leader. Usually the Lead ZL has been a Zone Leader for several transfers
etc. Most ZL's will have been a Zone Leader for 2 transfers before they
"train" a new Zone Leader or before they become the Lead. In this case,
I have been with Elder Warner for 1 transfer and am the Lead Zone
Leader. All Zone decisions will be made by me and Elder Fragoso but the
real training of him will come from me. I am excited to grow and
everything but it's nice being comfortable. I guess I have been
comfortable too long and the Lord is ready for me to get back to the
refining.
We didn't have any Investigators come to church this week. Elder Petit and I were on exchanges on Saturday
and found some pretty cool people to work with. One guy is named
M. He is from El Salvador. When ever I meet someone from El
Salvador, first thing i say is, Le Gusta Pupusas?? You will always get a
great reaction from some white boy, speaking spanish, knowing their
food. Same thing with Dominicans. If I meet a Dominican, you say, A Un
Tigere. I honestly don't know what it means but its a nickname for
Domincans. Then you just talk about their food and instant love and
respect from them. We will see if there is any potential from him.
There
is a lady that the English Elders met named M. She is from
Dominican Republic and I met her when I was on exchanges with Elder
Blotter a couple weeks ago. I did the normal routine of asking her about
her food and what part of the DR she was from. She invited Elder Warner
and I over to have Lunch with her. We saw her again a couple days later
and she told us to come again and get food. We showed up and she fed us
lunch and then she gave us a TON of food. Random stuff she bought from
the store. We told her that we were ok and she didn't need to give us
anything but she said that she got it for us and if we didn't take it
she would be mad. So we took it. Ill send some pictures of the week.
Anyway, not much else happened.
The week was good! I love the mission! I love the people! I love working in Worcester! I love you all.
Elder Bushman
