So!
Biggest news...... Ready?? Elder Fragoso and I are staying together for
a 4th transfer. I am going to be in Worcester for a 5th transfer. Other
than Assistants, I only know of 1 other companionship who has ever been
together for 4 transfers! So, we are legends! Haha jk:)
The coolest experience this week happened on Friday
night! A boy, named B, said he would come out teaching with
us around 1:30 pm. We picked him up and left to go to our appointments!
We had some missed appointments, stop bys, street contacts, etc. It was
great! He loved being with us that he even bought Elder Fragoso a pizza!
Haha:) that same day, we tried to teach an English Class to a Brazilian
man. He spoke Portuguese and no English. We speak English and Spanish
and some random Portuguese phrases. Anyway, most stressful English Class
ever. He said that he wants to bring some of his friends and things so
we are going to have to invite the Portuguese Elders in Marlborough to
teach! We had a lesson that night with R and A but R wasn't
there. We taught A about the Law of Chastity and Tithing! While
teaching Tithing, B shared several wonderful stories and said that
he wanted to come out with us more often!
I love A&R. A is 11 and she heard it was my birthday soon. She went over to her money jar and gave me $10. I tried to tell her that she could keep it but she insisted. Such a sweet girl!
The
court date has been moved back for another 3 months so if anything is
going to change, they need to figure out another arrangement. But for
now, we are praying!
S had work off this Sunday and should for every Sunday now! He slept in so he didn't come. But next week! We are excited! We will be teaching them on Tuesday!
We
were expecting several people at church again. Around 4-8. Nobody
came... Again. But! We now know more things that we can do as
missionaries to help them get there which is exciting. We have some cool
people to work with, they just need to come to church! We are
continually working on that though!
I
don't know if you remember G and M? Well we taught them but
they had some problems with the Word of Wisdom. Well G just turned
14 and they invited us over for his party. We spent about 45 minutes
there talking to all their friends. People from Brazil, Columbia,
Venezuela, Mexico, Dominican Republic, etc. It was super fun! They had
tons of meats and things so I had some awesome food. Sadly... We didn't
take a picture. Bummer.
We had our Christmas
Zone Conference this past week! The Assistants talked about the need and
importance of role playing our teaching skills to become better and
better! President Mavromatis talked about what we want to become and how
it's up to us! It was exciting!! Then we had tons of musical numbers!
So much fun!
I
have been reading a lot of the Book of Mormon and also in PMG lately
and have found a better correlation between the two by studying PMG and
reading the Book of Mormon verses that it references! It's fun to see
both books complement each other!
I want to say thank you for all of your examples and testimonies! You are all in my prayers and in my heart!
I love you
Elder Bushman
