This week has been pretty good here on my end! The RedSox won the world series so everyone is excited here!
This
week has been full of exchanges. Elder Fragoso and I didn't realize how
quickly the transfer had gone so we hadn't planned any exchanges until
last week so we went on 3 exchanges back to back to back and have
another one tomorrow:)
Soo. Tuesday
was an exchange with Elder Church! He came over to Worcester and we
worked here in the Spanish program. Elder church has been on his mission
for 23 1/2 months and is going home on the 9th of November! He talked a lot about his experiences throughout his mission and what he has enjoyed.
We
had ZERO things planned in the day so we made lots of phone calls with
people and tried to set up times and places for us to come by. We met a
family from Ecuador who was taught by missionaries in the past. They
weren't progressing so missionaries stopped teaching them. They said we
could come over on Friday so we'll see if anything good turns out for them.
Elder
Church is also the District Leader so we talked a lot about his
District, what they are struggling with, and how he can help them. It
was a good exchange.
The
next day I was on an exchange with an Elder named Elder Shkapich. He is
from AZ and has been out for about 2 transfers now. He is a Spanish
Elder so it was fun working with him. Framingham, MA has a huge
Portuguese population so we talked to tons of Brazilians in Spanish and
they replied in Portuguese. We communicate pretty well that way which
was cool! Elder Shkapich woke up sick so he slept a little while longer
so we didn't have tons of time to do stuff but we made good use of our
time! It was cool:) he is a great missionary.
Next exchange was with the Assistants! They came over to our area for the exchange. Because it was a Thursday,
which is weekly planning day, we had them sit in and watch us plan,
give us tips, etc. It was good! We then went to work!! Elder Fragoso and
I started an English Class with the church's self reliance program. On
exchanges, we met a family from Columbia! We knocked on their window and
told them who we were! They said we could stop by and asked if we had
an English Class! Just so happened that we did! They didn't come to it
because of a conflict but they said they wanted to come to church and be
in the class! We are excited to work with them.
And boom! That's the end of exchanges! It's been a long week but, the week isn't over ;)
So.. Elder Fragoso and I had a super STUPID idea. Saturday
morning, we thought to ourselves that we wanted some doughnuts!! So...
We each bought a dozen doughnuts! Haha:) then... Being the boys we are,
decided to also buy every item off the Taco Bell Dollar menu! Haha:) so,
on Saturday,
I ate 10 doughnuts and 10 items from Taco Bell. Literally never have
felt so sick in my life! Super disgusting. That night, took some Body
Cleanse and Apple Cider Vinegar! Sunday morning was rough for us!
O, S & R got called into work so they weren't able to come to
church again. It was pretty sad. They can still be baptized on the 10th of November but.. It still was sad.
We
met two guys randomly on the street who just so happen to work in Polar
Beverages with our members! So we will be teaching them soon!
Overall! Great week:)
Love you all
Elder Bushman
