Dear Familia & Friends,
Don's baptism was on Saturday & he was so prepared he was shining
before he was baptized, super sweet. We've moved his wife's date as
she is working on quoting smoking. She is so close & I know that she
loves the gospel too, it's just getting over this trial, luckily she
is going to a class that will help & she is trying. I liked Sister
Beck's talk at the baptism on the Holy Ghost, she did a great job &
described it well in that the Holy Ghost will tell you if it's good or
not, pretty simple, just need to listen. Cute, Lila said about her &
Don, "I'm a bandaid & he is, we stick together." They are so funny, I
really enjoy our lessons with them.
We had an Awesome lesson 2 with the Crawford's & the Fields. Holy cow
Sister Crawford asked the best question I have ever heard from
teaching lesson 2, she asked "Is there baptisms in the spirit world?"
LOVE her! That was awesome!!! She & her husband are golden & I'm super
sad, they leave today to go back to home in Pennsylvania but woot we
might be able to still have some Skype lessons with them. I hope to
stay in touch with them & the Fields they are incredible people.
Let's see, we've been bumping into a lot of 7th day adventist's lately
& it's amusing to me how caught up they are on sabbath day worshiper a
& Sunday worshipers, it 's super sad how lot if them won't even listen
& demand that their church is the true one & that's that. Luckily we
met a cool woman who is 7th day but she was open to having us come
teach her. Pray for her, Alexandra, heart to be softened more so to
not just learn about what we believe but know it is God's. She is
prepared & I just hope she'll let go if being obsessed with the
sabbath being on Saturday or at least not allow that to blind her
better judgement.
In Miranda's lesson (a women Sister Westberg found on exchanges)
Sister Westberg asked an inspired question, she said, "what would it
mean to you to be a member of Christ's church?" Miranda said that
would be Exciting! And when we had asked her, "How'd you feel about
what you heard from Joseph Smith's experience?" She said, "It's
Touching, I feel Warmth & comfort." The spirit was wonderful & she
committed to be baptized when she knows it's true. We walked away
uplifted from that lesson, unfortunately even though she & her
boyfriend said they would come to church with their kids, they never
showed up, grrrrrr. It is funny how hard it is for people to come to
church, it drives me nuts. Awe well, we will keep trying.
So, some quotes from my fav 91 year old, "I'm all about that iron on
patch business"- Brother Snellenburger & "Here we are again Heavenly
Father," as he starts one of his sincere prayers, he's adorable, just
wish he'd COME to CHURCH!
You all better still be going to church regularly!!!!!!!!
So hymn 141 verse 2 is nice & let's see scriptures...hmmmmm oh Brother
Fields gave a really nice talk in the Atonement, here are some of the
scriptures he used, Isaiah 49:14-16 & 54:10. I liked what he said
about how if anything we get from his talk, he'd hope it would be for
us to Feel the atonement. He also said how important it is to not only
remember Christ but to remember that He remembers us, isn't that
sweet. He also read the 6th verse of Nearer My God To Thee & prayed
that we would allow the Atonement to have such an effect on our lives
that we will be nearer to God. Brother Fields is going to be a general
70 one of these days.
I hate saying goodbye to people & I am going to miss them so much,
they are always so willing to join us for lessons & are just
inspiring. Thank you family for being my inspiration. I love you very
much & don't know how I'd keep going if it wasn't for you. I love
looking at the family calendar, even though I miss you all so much but
it does lift up my spirits remembering each of you. I love you family.
Love,
Sister Bush
