Mom I love your thoughts on all the ways those people showed faith! So cool.
Dad I'm glad you are back home and enjoying being with family again.
That is so cool to me that Jan got to go!!!!!! It probably helped that the endowment is shorter now. That is amazing. Man that made me so happy.
We had district council and our trio had the training.
It was a good training! We did a missionary escape room- so the missionaries had to try to get certain tasks (that relate to the scriptures and helping people they are teaching and creating good relationships with the members) as well as undo locks and get through barriers. It was so cool!!!! I was really happy about it and everyone loved it.
Then we had a lesson with Velma and talked about her baptism experience(:
Also we got to meet with the marquez family!! They are a Hispanic family in Oshkosh that were dropped because of the language barrier and so we taught them the Restoration and they loved it! The young teen girl was asking us like how we each came to know the truth ourselves and other amazing questions. It was my first time teaching a whole family instead of just an individual and it was the coolest thing in my life. They are so golden!! I love them so much, I got to bear my testimony in Spanish to them .
Then, because we were so far out late at night we spent the night at the peters again. They are my favorite favorite peoples.
Friday was my halfway mark how crazy weird is that!!!!! We didn't do anything special but it was a day of reflection for me. I'm more than halfway done with my mission. The time goes by way too fast.
I tried to re-arrange the furniture in our apartment (thanks mom for instilling that in me haha) but our apartment is so small everything I tried I didn't like. So we only changed one little thing and put it back the way it was hahaha
We had dinner with the holcombes and boy do they need prayers. They are such good people it's just hard for them to come to church because of sicknesses.
So on Saturday we had apartment inspections and like right after we got a phone call from president to tell us about transfers!
**********So I'm staying in sidney nebraska. I'm training here! She's an hermana. So she is Spanish speaking which is so good for the marquez cuz I was worried about them. Her name is Hermana Escobar, she is from Ecuador and has only been out for one transfer. So I'm second transfer training again, this time tho, she won't really know any english. I will be working on my spanish too. Im not a spanish missionary, but i may be in many situations introducing myself as hermana bush(:(:(:(:(: So please pray for me to have the gift of tongues haha. Cuz I have to help her be the missionary she needs to be but i don't even speak Spanish.
Haha. Plus also, just for fun dad can you tell me the areas you served in Ecuador on your mission? I don't even know! What cities did you serve in? Who did you work with? It would be pretty cool if there was a connection there haha. I'm excited to help the work progress in Sidney and help the Spanish work get started! Any tips on how to teach English and learn some Spanish at the same time????
Also with transfers sister walker is going to be an STL and in trio. One of the sisters she's with she has been companions with her before!
On Sunday church was flippin awesome. We had a researcher come to our ward who is writing a paper about our religion so that was cool. We got to help answer her questions, help her feel welcome and at the end she asked for a book of mormon! So that is awesome!
Plus also, we met Danielle Alberts at church. She just showed up with the frankens. It's a crazy story. So the frankens met her at a gas station this past week and she found out they were members and she has an aunt who is a member and she has been wanting to find the church in this area so they invited her over to get to know her and then brought her to Church on sunday! How wacko is that! Miracles happen every day.
We had dinner with the hayleys I love those guys. It was a little spicy so we joked about that but I survived lol. Their family is lots of fun.
Then we spent time at the silers saying goodbye. Sister Siler is so amazing and she reminds me of you mom so I'm glad to be able to know her.
On Monday we went to adopt a dog again, this time one of the dogs almost bit sister walker and I sprayed it with a hose haha. Good times good times.
Then we had lunch at the frankens and taught Danielle the restoration. It went so good. She is super promising and wants her mom to take the lessons too! Oh yeah!!
Plus we got to go help her blanket her horses! That's a new adventure haha and so fun too.
We had dinner at the bishops place so that was cool.
Then we read with Sara. She was upset about something and the spirit told me we needed to each pray about a question we have a read looking for the answer. I was skeptical because it was Mosiah 11. That was the next chapter. About king Noah and his wickedness. I was like oh boy I hope this works. But I had faith that the spirit wasn't just pranking me so we did it. I've never had such a spiritual experience with a weird chapter! We finished reading and it was just silent. Everyone was pondering and thinking about how it could answer their questions. And it was so cool cuz we got the answers we needed! Wow the power of the Book of mormon. It became more true today than it was yesterday. I know it is the word of god because only the word of god could do something so amazing like that. It was a miracle to me
