Hey everyone!
I don’t really know the best way to do this (send a letter
to the whole family or individuals…), so I’m just gonna wing it! The MTC is
great! Despite it being 5 degrees… The food is awesome! My district is awesome!
My companion is Elder Badley (pronounced ‘badly’). And he is a big black guy
who looks like he could play for the NFL. He was baptized when he was 18 (he’s
20 now) and he has one of the strongest testimonies I’ve ever heard! By the
way, he’s from Virginia Beach, VA. So far we’ve pretty much just been doing
orientation type things and a few hours of role playing (loved it!). The Spirit
here is unlike anything I have ever felt! My whole district (12 total; 4
sisters/8 elders) is going to Fresno the same day, Jan 23rd! And we all get
along great! The other two elders in my room are Elder Garcia and Elder Enslow
(from TX and UT). There is also a sister in my district who is President
Bluth’s granddaughter - - Sister Pratt! Safe to say the next 3 weeks are going
to be incredible. Does it feel real yet? No. I still just feel like I’m at EFY
or something. Seriously guys, Jon and Dad already know this, but the Spirit and
sense of instant comradery here is indescribable! I love this gospel so much!
I’d say the most important part things I’ve learned so far today is either the
difference between “inviting” and “informing” and the fact that if you’re not living
the gospel, it’s extremely hard to teach it. I love you all and I’m praying for
you!
Elder Zac Bushman
