This week
has been pretty good! Lots of stuff going on and happening. Biggest news
is that General Conference happened. We had 7 people watch conference.
Some came to the church and others watched from their houses. It was a
great day! I will be honest. I thought a lot more stuff was going to
happen so when President Nelson got up for the last time, I was
expecting a BOMB to drop. 12 new temples is awesome but I was expecting a
little more.
Other
than that, not a lot happened this week. We spent most of our time in
some meetings and really trying to get people to come and watch
conference. A, R, O, and S all watched it so
they are still looking good to be baptized on the 27th of October.
We
had several meetings this week as well. We met with President
Mavromatis, Sister Mavromatis, the Stake President, the High Councilman
over the Ward Mission Leaders. We talked all about what the plans for
the Stake are and how we can help accomplish those goals! It went great.
We
had a Mission Leadership Council as well. We were there for hours and I
skipped the lunch they had! We talked a lot about what things are
happening in our mission that is causing lower results. Over the past 4
years, our mission has averaged 34 baptisms a month. The highest in the
East! This last couple of months, it is has declined to 15 baptisms in
the month of September. We talked about why this is happening and set in
plans to achieve better results through higher obedience and more
consecrated actions. Our goal is to have 26 baptisms in our mission this
month. Our Zone is looking like we will be able to help 13 people get
baptized! We are really trying to stretch ourselves and read that goal!
Other than that, not much has happened!
Sorry for the short letter! Love you all!!
Elder Bushman
