First, Thanksgiving was great! Our Mission President said we shouldn't tract so we just decided to visit some members! We had our Thanksgiving
Dinner with the Rodriguez family and their kids. It was great having
some super good food! We went to O, S & R as well to
share a scripture with them. They gave us some super good ham and
Broccoli. We then hurried to visit another member but she didn't have a
man in the house. So we just picked up the food that she wanted to give
us and left. Thanksgiving was a great day!
We
had a District Leadership Council with all the District Leaders in our
Zone. Most missionaries have been really struggling with the work lately
and so our purpose was to identify some things that we aren't doing or
need to do better. After 2 hours we walked away with a plan to follow
the counsel of President Mavromatis more effectively, be better about
studying and applying principles from Preach my Gospel, and to develop a
stronger love for the people we teach through working to develop
Christlike attributes and praying for Charity. It was a super great
meeting that was very good and effective.
We
were able to get in contact with J. this week. He has picked
up some old habits that aren't good and has started working on Sundays
again. We talked with him for a bit and asked if we would be able to
come over to share a message with him. We set up a time to go visit him
on Friday
but when we went and passed by, he wasn't there. His car was out front
and lights were on but he didn't pick up the phone or answer the door.
It was a little disappointing that he blew us off and wasn't there but
we are still trying to help him back. Hopefully he has those same
desires!
We had our Branch Thanksgiving party on Saturday
and met some cool people that are friends with members that we will be
trying to work with! We have exchanges, MLC, and Zone Conference this
week so it will be busy!!
Love you all
Elder Bushman
