This week has been wonderful! We had some super great experiences which were awesome!! Let's start with S!
The
lesson went really well and the spirit was present! It was so great.
S began by telling us how church was for him 2 weeks ago, because of
the time he had to attend the one in Natick by his work, he loved the
sacrament, "body and blood of Christ", the music, he sang along with the
chorus, and how many children there were. He said he had to wait in the
foyer while the Sacrament happened so we knew he was there! Haha!
We
talked about how he would share the gospel with his wife in the DR. We
then role-played. It went so great! He bore such great testimony. He
knows this is the true church, he has felt the spirit in the lessons
while we teach him about the commandments, heaven and God. He
specifically knew that eternal marriage was true when we first taught it
to him. O also shared his testimony on how he knew it was true. He
kept saying he felt "joy".
After
the role play, we discussed how him teaching his wife would go, we
invited him to share a scripture with his wife to get it started! He
said his wife needs a message of hope. Together we went to the topical
guide and read 4 scriptures on hope.
He
chose Ether 12:4 to send her, saying it teaches about anchoring our
souls. We then practiced them writing down their testimonies. They both
wrote amazing testimonies. We should help them learn the real name of
the church though. O wrote his testimony in a Book of Mormon and
committed to share it with his friend, D, from work!
The
spirit was very strong, they both love the gospel and how they feel.
S said he would be at church and he still wants to get baptized!
Starting
Jan. 9-22 S will be at home from Thursday to Sunday taking care of
his dad. So he will never have any commitments to attend to on Sundays!
This all happened on Tuesday! We kept in touch with him and he came to
church yesterday! Because he was there, he said he wanted to be baptized
and we announced his baptism in Sacrament Meeting. So he will be
getting baptized on the 12th! We are so excited for him!! We have it all
planned so he can still go to the temple and get the Priesthood.
We
had exchanges this week with the Spanish Elders in Framingham! I was
able to go with an Elder named Elder Johnson! He knows a bunch about
Spanish so I asked him some questions that I've been thinking about! We
had a great exchange and worked to find some members who we could work
with! Elder Fragoso has been companions with Elder Johnson so we talked a
lot about what we've learned from him and things like that!
We
went to interviews this week and were there from 9:30-5. We sat in all
the District Councils to see how we could best help our DLs. After
everything, we had our interviews at the end. President asked us if we
had eaten and we said no. We were planning on going to get Brazilian
food and President said he would join us! It was awesome!! I love him!
And I finally got the picture that mom asked me for 3 months ago!
I and M said that they were coming to church with their mom. We
talked with their mom and she said she wasn't going because of things she
had to do. We got a ride for the kids, but morning of she took them to
the doctors... We aren't exactly sure what we are going to do to
help them. To be continued...
Anyway! That was about the entire week! It was a good one. We are looking forward to this week!
Love you all!
Elder Bushman
